Oryoki
Oryoki is the formal taking of a meal during a sesshin (intensive Zen retreat). Although it is among the most elaborate services in the Zen traditions, what happens is everyone takes a meal together, and then washes their bowls. It is a profound practice of immense gratitude.
The link below will take you a podcast by the Reverend Jay Rinsen Weik of the Toledo Zen Center. In this firstpart of a 2 part talk, Rev. Rinsen explores the meal gathas that are used in the practice of oryoki.
