» A Storm in a Teacup
The Chinese believe that bitterness will not last long, if we attain the
proper tranquillity to see through a problem. This ancient tradition has
been developed for centuries through the cultivation of the mind, body
and spirit. It is suggested that if we drink Tea, we can attain a mental
and physical stage to pursue the proper clarity and peace of mind.
Proverb from The Song Dynasty (1127-1279)
When a peasant asked the Master what to do with the eminent bad harvest,
he replied "Drink Tea"
When a wealthy tradesman asked the Master what to do with his failing business,
he replied "Drink Tea"
When the Emperor was trapped by enemy troops, he also asked advice
from the Master who replied "Drink Tea"
Perhaps, next time you have a Storm in your Teacup, try this ancient
tradition, in practice by one fifth of the world’s population for
the past five thousand years.
