Oryoki Instructions
Oryoki Instructions
This video is from Bright Way Zen and is very helpful in either learning oryoki practice at home or for brushing up for retreats.
Note there are some small differences between our lineage's oryoki practice and those in the video, but these are very minor. Following along with the sangha as we practice oryoki will clarify any of these differences.
