Tea Meditation

Venerable Master Hsing Yun says that tea leaves will not be able to release fragrance without boiling water. Likewise, the fragrance of our lives arises from frustrations and difficulties. Having a peace of mind comes not only from training, but also from conducting ourselves in the society.
In a famous Chan story, Chan Master Zhaozhou would reply his disciples' questions by asking them to drink a cup of tea. Tea is closely related to Chan, and it helps to dissipate fatigue. At the Twin Pavilions, Tea Chan sessions can be arranged for interested groups and organizations.
