A Zen cook gets out of the way.
Yes, look! In a Zen cook’s offering to the assembly,
looking everywhere, nowhere to be found is the cook.
And yet how’s so in this and deeply supportive,
continuously reconfigured is the way of reality
by cause of such, and in profoundest love.
How’s so the work of the tenzo.
As Tenzo Hajime, I perform the function of the one
who makes such offerings of profoundest love
with reverence to the assembly of today. Please, enjoy.

Zen is not Proud. Zen is not a particular thing.
Zen is any and everything shining and pointing at any and everything simultaneously, through even the most common and regular of things.
