Tea Ceremonies with Haiyan
|
|
Healing Through Tea and Tea Ceremony
presented by Haiyan, Tea Master and Co-Founder of Lotus Leaf Tea
Tea is life. Tea is energy.
When we drink a cup of tea  we connect to the healing energy of the tea. As the Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh describes enjoying a cup of tea: "You must be completely awake in the present to enjoy the tea. Only in the awareness of the present, can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup. Only in the present, can you savor the aroma, taste the sweetness, appreciate the delicacy.
If you are ruminating about the past, or worrying about the future, you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea. You will look down at the cup, and the tea will be gone."
Life is like that cup of tea.

The Dao De Jing teaching is all in the song.
"I have been singing this song since 1985.
Anyone can sing the song, but since 1985, not many are singing it anymore.
This song is about the Dao. The Dao De Jing teaching is all in the song.
So simple, but not easy."
Ming

Sunshine ah Sunshine, You Make Me Blazing.
Rivers and Mountains, You Nurture Me up,

A Conference Caller Experience
"The weekly Dao De Jing Conference call with Dr. Ming Wu and Ms. Joey Wu has done more to put me in touch with the profound message of this ancient Chinese teaching than all the individual study I have done over the past forty years.
I have read several different translations of Dao De Jing over the years. Most of them have left me unsatisfied, feeling that a certain ring of spiritual truth and lucidity had been lost. By contrast, the translation we are using, by Tom Tam, is honest and straightforward while unrelentingly pointing to the essence of Tao in all its depth and universality.
This, plus the opportunity to discuss the chapters and ask questions in real time, makes the weekly Dao De Jing conference call an invaluable experience, and allows me to apply this teaching in my daily life as never before." -- Michael Leacher
