Tea Ceremony

In Zen Buddhism, drinking tea has a spiritual meaning. It is a moment of reflection and letting go. This book connects the qualities of (ceremonial) tea drinking with that of poetry.

The publication contains 22 cups of tea, with a different word on each cup. Words like "source material," "quiet bullet," "brain soap," or "now temple" describe, on the one hand, a state of mind; at the same time, they are also two-word haikus that, in their simplicity, invite reflection. What is a "quiet bullet"? And what is "core knowledge"? This book is both book and meditation tool. It is also a quiet bullet and brain soap, just as it is a cup of tea. Please enjoy your tea.
