My Favorite Tanka...Shojin Zen 精進膳


春彼岸 精進膳をそなへむか先祖に一つ無縁に一つ

offering shoujin-zens 
during vernal equinox week --
one is 
to my ancestors' spirits
the other is to the deserted's 

"The neglected" is the spirit who has no living relatives.

この歌は以前お盆の歌の初句を変えて春彼岸にしました。

It is Spring Equinox Week March 18 to 24, which is one of the most important events for Japanese Buddhists. I have to offer some special foods including Shojin Cooking to my dead ancestors in this term. In brief, Shojin Cooking is Zen Cooking. The photo is Shojin Cooking for the beginning of the equinox week on 18th. March .
