Synopsis

Eat Like A Buddha, written by Sensei Derek Fletcher, is unlike any recipe book ever written. The ingredients do not consist of any that may be digested by the body. The book’s aim is not meant to feed your body. It’s meant to feed your mind. The title itself emits an aroma that generates a natural curiosity. A number of thought provoking questions organically arise (explicitly and implicitly) through a series of contemplations. The goal is to first realize, then actualize, how your best self would reason about eating anything at all. It is a real-time unfolding of the process of spiritual reasoning itself. Where you ought to land is nowhere addressed. What you ultimately decide will be the result of your own efforts to act from an awakened state of knowing after having read this book.

Sensei takes you through a series of six intense contemplations (mental recipes) that explore the self, body, nature, universe, mind and consciousness respectively. He concludes with a seventh contemplation that synthesizes some of the key insights. This is not a book promoting any particular food selection or diet. In fact, there is no discussion about this. You should deduce from the titles of the six contemplations that this is a much deeper dive into the phenomena of food and eating. It’s beyond the mundane levels of advocacy and bias. Each contemplation includes intimate and personal real-time experiences of Sensei’s own process and life. Sensei put himself through a host of taxing spiritual practices while writing this book. Some of these practices included semi-isolation, dry fasting for several months, intense martial arts training and hours spent daily in silence and meditation. The reader gets insight into the deepest recesses of one being’s contemplative journey while in a primed state of awareness. Likewise, you will get the opportunity to learn how to do spiritual contemplative work. This is far different than mere reflecting. Eat Like A Buddhawill prove to be one of those books with the power to free your mind forever and heal the world in the process…
