Tea Reflections
Drinking a daily cup of tea will surely starve the apothecary.
~Chinese Proverb
Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world.
~T'ien Yiheng
If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty.
~Japanese Proverb
Green tea is preferred to other beverages because of its subtlety. In order to appreciate it fully, the mind must be quiet and free from distracting thoughts.
~The Venerable Sonhae Sunim
Tea does our fancy aid, repress those vapours which the head invade, and keeps that palace of the soul serene.
~Edmund Waller, "Of Tea"
In the taste of a single cup of tea you will eventually discover the truth of all the ten thousand forms in the universe. It is difficult to put this taste into words, or even to catch a hint of it.
~The Venerable Kyongbong Sunim
Tea is liquid wisdom.
~Anonymous
Remember the tea kettle - it is always up to its neck in hot water, yet it still sings!
