Japanese Tea Ceremony

I am very impressed by the Tea Ceremony that gives so much peace and relaxation, so I dared to use a great video product by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tt7NBIVeMY attaching an exceptional music "Tea Song" by Oliver Shanti.

"In my own hands I hold a bowl of tea; I see all of nature represented in its green color. Closing my eyes I find green mountains and pure water within my own heart. Silently sitting alone and drinking tea, I feel these become a part of me."

"What is the most wonderful thing for people like myself who follow the Way of Tea? My answer: the oneness of host and guest created through meeting heart to heart and sharing a bowl of tea."

(Soshitsu Sen - Grand Master XIV - Urasenke School of Tea)

"The tea ceremony is more than an idealization of the form of drinking—it is a religion of the art of life." (Okakura Kakuzo)

I wish u a peaceful time.

music is Chinese, what it has to do with Japanese Sado? Doesnt fit here at all, sorry, someone missed the whole point!!!!

[mysnakeeye]

@Aspiret620 , what's the point? music is "Tea Ballad" so... if u don't like it, use the off button!

[mayidunk]

Why did you spoil it by adding music? The whole point to the ceremony is the calm, quiet, zen experience which the distracting sounds of the music destroys! Too bad.

@mayidunk why u don't get the message of this music? before accuse me, try to understand my point of view! or u can't get it? this music is very special for they who has soul to understand it!
