Zen and Chado January 8th, 2022

The old pine is talking prajna-wisdom

Dear Friends
On Saturday January 8th we’ll meet online at 10:00am PDT, (1:00pm EDT, 7:00pm CET) for an opportunity to share Chado – the Way of Tea.

Sokan will offer formal tea from the tea house of the winter moon on Vachon Island and lead us through preparing our own bowl of matcha. [No matcha? please brew a cup of your choice and come along.] 

Once we’ve made our bowl, we’ll savour our tea, and if we wish share a verse quote or comment that inspires us.

When you join the meeting, please start with a short period of zazen. 

Sokan will begin formal tea when his preparations are complete. Sokan will open our conversation and if we wish we’ll offer poems, quotes, and share our experience.

Please join the event via Zoom: [Event has passed]

Clouds dwell on the mountain peaks, completely still
Water flows down through the valleys, bubbling noisily
