09-08-2025I love Doris Dorrie's movies very much. This examination of a Zen practitioner named Edward Espe Brown is a fun look at his life and his cooking. The movie calls him a "Master". He doesn't seem happy but I don't know any masters to compare with him. I find Zen monasteries interesting as, to teach a non-individual view, they seem want to force all students into a "mold", following a recipe followed by past teachers. Seems to be more of a Asian thing than a Buddhist thing. Still, if it's a Dorrie movie, it's a movie that will show the cold, naked truth at all times, generally with a generous helping of love.

09-08-2025I showed this DVD at one of our Spiritual cinema evenings. Most people were quite impressed. Here is a dedicated men who follows his heart and ends up becoming a "famous" author and monk. This book should be required viewing for all Corporate managers to give them an impression of a different life. It also showes us how far removed a lot of people have become from spending some thoughtful time in the kitchen.
