Tea Meditation Ceremony

Today at our West Houston Zen Center we were introduced how to do the tea-drinking as a discipline by our monk/meditation guide in residence Youm Gyoumg Sunim. It was very insightful and blissful experience. In his own words:
   "...There are several ways to do meditation through tea. If the body and mind become calm through motion of preparing and drinking tea, it is a Tea Ceremony Meditation. If the body and mind are purified through the five colors of tea, it is Five-colors Tea meditation. If the body and mind are at peace through the color, taste, and fragrance of tea, it is a Color, Taste, Fragrance Tea-meditation. If the body and mind become serene by presenting a tea offering with compassion, it is an Offering-Tea meditation. Also, if the body and mind are calmed through the taste of tea, it is One-Taste-Tea meditation."

This painting was a blessing to work on, it helped and IS helping me to deal with my own unfathomed dark tunnels...bottomless midnight pits...immeasurably endless infinite abysses of sorrow  loneliness and love...
  Yet now all eyes of all our spiritual protectors are wide open!
  Visit us at the West Houston Zen Center and you will be blessed forever! 

Yes, About That

This is true. There is no way to capture this cunning bird other than enchanting yourself and transforming yourself into an enchanter.
