Synopsis

Tea and Ceremony'' reveals the way of tea - Chado - as a living path. Like any true path, it is there for any person to take, without limits on who that person may be. Embarking on this path requires only sincerity and a willingness to understand that tea, in all its beautiful forms and with all our appreciations, can be a lifelong journey. This book begins by showing us tea's global history and then explains how that rich history can inform our own attraction to tea. More important, it reveals how we can then use tea in our daily lives for removal and spiritual perception. From the introduction by Deng Ming-Dao, author of Scholar Warrior and Zen: The Art of Modern Eastern Cooking.
