For centuries, Buddhist monks in Japan have been using Oryoki bowls, which impress with their sophisticated design: they fit perfectly into each other, retain heat, are comfortable to hold and are the ideal size for a balanced diet.
Oryoki means “it is enough” and stands for a meditative way of eating that is practiced in Zen temples. This ritual draws attention to every movement and detail, promotes mindfulness and anchors the mind in the present moment.
The number of bowls and utensils varies according to tradition. The stackable bowls are called Jihatsu, while the largest bowl, often referred to as the Buddha bowl or Zuhatsu, symbolizes the head and wisdom of the Buddha.
