Item Description
"A lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison."
Founded in 1979, Greens Restaurant was, alongside a bakery, a green market, and a meditation robe and cushion stitchery, one of several small businesses started by San Francisco Zen Center as opportunities to provide employment for its many students while also helping to establish Right Livelihood as a daily practice. An immediate success, Greens´ beginnings in simple acts, mindfulness and extending the Dharma would lead down a path to its becoming a California institution now widely credited as being the first restaurant in the world to successfully bridge the gap between vegetarian fare and fine dining.
Still located in its original Marina warehouse, Greens´ singular approach to vegetarian cuisine as well as its breathtaking views of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge are a San Francisco experience that is not to be missed.
