"Yakuseki" number 41 of 200 from Robert Aitken's book Miniatures of a Zen Master.
Yakuseki is the evening meal at Zen monasteries. Made up of the left overs from breakfast and lunch, served without sutras. This same word is used to refer to medicine. A meal as medicine. This leads me to consider what else we might use as medicine.
Today I feel melancholy. What will I find for medicine?
Medicine. Tricycle magazine has a service where they will email you a one paragraph "Tricycle's Daily Dharma". I've found these to encouraging and practical and not at all fluffy.
