TEA CHAN: A MINDFUL JOURNEY THROUGH TEA & BUDDHISM
Every moment in life is fleeting, a gentle reminder to cherish each breath and live with awareness. In Buddhism, tea is more than just a drink, it is a practice of mindfulness, simplicity, and inner peace. Rooted in the traditions of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, Tea Chan is a meditative tea ceremony that connects us to the present moment, fostering a sense of tranquillity and wholeness.

THE SPIRITUAL CONNECTION BETWEEN TEA & BUDDHISM
For centuries, Buddhist monks have embraced tea as part of their daily practice, using it to cultivate clarity, stillness, and mindfulness. The ritual of preparing and drinking tea is a reminder to slow down, observe each movement with intention, and appreciate life’s simple yet profound moments. The warmth of the cup, the delicate aroma, and the gentle flow of water all invite us to be fully present.

Tea Chan is not just about making tea, it is a spiritual experience that teaches us to:
🍃 Embrace simplicity and find joy in the small details
🍃 Cultivate patience through the slow, mindful preparation of tea
🍃 Develop gratitude for nature’s gifts and the efforts of those who bring tea to us
🍃 Find balance in the harmony of flavours, scents, and sensations

EXPERIENCE TEA CHAN AT THE BUDDHA BIRTH DAY FESTIVAL
Guided by an experienced Tea Master, you will witness the art of tea-making as a meditative practice. Each step from the boiling of water, the steeping of leaves, to the pouring of tea, reflects the principles of Buddhist mindfulness and harmony.

Join us and immerse yourself in this unique sensory and spiritual experience. Take a moment to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with yourself, nature, and the present moment.

Come, sit, sip, and savour the moment.
