The Way of Tea
Cha Dao “The Way of Tea” 茶道
An ancient Daoist practice to cultivate meditative presence & deep listening – it is a way to make space and allow ourselves to enter into devotion and reverence for the elements and all of life.
Tea is a plant teacher – through her graceful, strong and compassionate way, the medicine of the leaf meets us exactly where we are and gives exactly what is needed.
Following the teachings and guidance of Global Tea Hut, I acknowledge the lineage of those who have walked this path before me and passed on this sacred practice with integrity and respect.
"As the leaves of this tree are,
I too am made of the water, the sky, sun and stars;
I share this essence with all the Ten-thousand Things.
And in so doing, empty myself and my cup.
As tea, I am now free to transcend the moment,
Finding heaven in a leaf."
