I recently cooked and attended a month long Dzogchen silent retreat at ‪@PBCInternational‬ meditation center.
This is the recap. My priority was to cook for over 30 people, twice a day for 30 days completely plant based. Totalling over 1900 meals by the end of it. It was an honor and a pleasure to dedicate my time and efforts to support the sangha. May I continue to do meaningful things that are of benefit to others and myself.
For more information on the retreat center: www.padmasambh...
Work- study program: www.padmasambh...
The Wicked Healthy Cookbook is available on all major online retailers.

May beings have happiness and the cause of happiness
May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering

Love you D! Your big heart always shines through so brightly in your amazing cooking. Every single meal during the One Month Dzogchen Retreat at Padma Samye Ling was an extraordinary surprise! Definitely the best month of food I've enjoyed my entire life, by far. Your friendship has been invaluable to me since we met in 2007. You're a treasure of kindness and badass creative spark I'm deeply honored to know. May all beings care for one another with tender, powerful, heartfelt kindness, respect, gratitude, and uplift. Thanks dear friend. dragpa

I’m so sad to hear about your loss of the love of your life, Derek. May love ❤️ find you again for you have much to offer a partner. I’m so glad to see you and Frankie have each other to shower with unconditional love and affection. 💞 Your video just popped up in my feed, and I watched the whole way through mesmerized by your skill and dedication to service and your spiritual practice. Needless to say, as a vegan of 37 years, I subscribed. Your recipes will be a wonderful inspiration in a few weeks when I take on the meal prep for my daughter, her husband, and two-year-old daughter. I’m out of practice cooking as I consume a 100 % raw vegan diet myself, but very happy for cook healthy whole vegan food for others to keep them healthy and on the vegan path. 😊 I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.😊

One person. Cooking for ALL those people. No assistants. No sous chef. No prep cook. No dishwasher. Just one guy, doing it all. The ability to batch cook like that I found really mesmerizing, not to mention the execution of top-notch restaurant-quality meals in the process. The reunion with Frankie was the icing on the cake in this wonderful video. I like to call myself a Buddhist-Atheist, so this clip really resonated with me. 😃

Hi hi. Lifelong Buddhist here. Buddhism is naturally atheistic. Some of you might say wait hey Buddha talked about Devas, but none of that is a prerequisite or apart of Buddhist teaching. Buddhism has no belief in a creator. It’s naturally atheistic. So no need for mentioning haha 😂 Buddhism is human centric. First religion to exist that has no vertical connection to the divine but only a circular connection to the humane.

Good grief Derek, where do I start. First ... she's still here, in every beam of sunlight, in every drop of rain, in every gust of wind and every grain of earth. You will be together again my friend. Matter and energy are neither created or destroyed, they merely change forms. Second .. your food looks AMAZING. My mouth was watering with every dish you made. Absolutely incredible, you "still have it" indeed! Third ... your devotion and sacrifice to those you cooked for is selfless and beautiful. Part of me also thinks this is as much for you as it it for them. Fourth .... Your reunion with Frankie made me cry. Dogs are proof of a "higher power" hence Dog is God spelled backwards. Much love to you my friend.

If Mr Sarno was in the chef team at my next meditation retreat, the wholesome food would either finally help me enter the initial jhānas, or arouse wicked sense-desire about it through Māra. Whatever the consequence, now a craving aroused in me to propose him as the chef for my future Buddhist retreat in the UK. Thinking about the benefit percolated through sharing such a personal story, engaging in non-harm cooking, and promoting Buddhist spiritual values is very heart-warming. It is very uplifting and very appreciated. May Mr Sarno, Franky and all the community here be content, at ease, and in peace.

I was wrestling with my dog earlier this evening. She loves to wrestle on the bed. I'll grab her and flip her on her back and tickle her belly while she wriggles about biting on her favourite toy. Tonight she let out a scream I've never hear her make before. I must have caught her wrong or twisted something. She looked so betrayed. I hugged her and kissed her and apologised over and over. She was fine, no lasting damage and within a minute or two was leaping around like a loon again. She puts all of her trust in me and to think for even a second that I'd harm her purposefully nearly broke my heart. I don't know why I mention this, it just came up again in my mind. This is such a beautiful video and I adore the love you and Frankie share.

Derek. Words do nothing. I am crying. I am so touched….i have only admiration for what you do & have done & who you are… I am truly blessed by what you share in your life & always try to learn from it to work to improve myself & of coarse my culinary skill. Again, thank you for sharing your experiences.

You are one of my biggest inspirations for going vegan recently. I feel very connected to your content and this one was particularly special to me because, I also have a fiance who I love very much and my life would absolutely shatter if I ever lost her. I feel your loss on a personal level, and the bond you have with Frankie feels like the bond I have with my own animals. I actually broke down when you reunited with Frankie. This one was such an unbelievable journey and I find it so incredible how much care, detail, and creativity goes into each meal you create. You are very serious and thoughtful about your process and this one reminds me of how much I have yet to learn. I look forward to many many more. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.

I absolutely love Derek Sarno. I loved him as an inspirational vegan chef, but now I know his back story about losing his beloved partner, about how he dealt with/deals with his grief is truly beautiful. I now believe he was sent by God to teach us all about compassion. A truly wonderful, wonderful human being. 💙💙💙

I am speechless which is a good thing. I have not seen anything like this on social media before but I practice this way of life for 20 years now. When I found my teacher who was waiting for this student because I was ready my life changed. I have spent many a retreat in silence and I practice mindfulness meditation daily. A huge follower of Thich Nhat Hahn. Your passion for food/life is understood by not all but your way of carrying yourself mesmerizes many. I hope you have found another love because we all deserve love as many times as it’s given. Cheers ❤️

Derek, I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved Amanda. This sacred tribute to her is very beautiful. I found it to be meditative watching it. And your reunion with sweet Frankie was so emotional to watch, tears of joy. Thank you for sharing your love of cooking with your love for all sentient beings. From a fellow lefty Namaste🕉🙏🌍💖
