Buddha Bowl with Tofu, Avocado & Sesame
I'm currently eating this Buddha bowl in the garden at 9pm - Buddha bowls are named for their tendency to nourish the mind, body & soul π
This one is filled with tofu, alfalfa sprouts, grated beetroot, carrot, spinach, rice, avocado and sesame seeds π I know 'Buddha bowl' is supposed to be a fun way of saying a healthy plant-based bowl with lots of ingredients π but what I would call a Buddha bowl is any dish we come to eat with full attention. Finishing one mouthful before piling in the next. Slowly tuning into the textures in the mouth and the way the tongue is receiving all these messages from this fuel that we've taken from the world to nourish the matter we identify with as our 'self'. We are worthy of nourishment, always π and we can take dinnertime to think how best to use this fuel: let's not take our food for granted; let's use it to help ourselves become better and help others become better. Put the best stuff into your body and put the best stuff back out into the world - that power is within you β¨π
