The Way of Tea
Tea Wisdom

Poet Red Pine (Bill Porter) spoke about his new translation of Lao Tzu’s classic text , the Tao Te Ching, at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, Volunteer Park.  Red Pine inscribes my copy of the book “for Zen Dog howling at the dark moon.” He explains that the Tao of Lao Tzu is of the dark new moon and the Tao of the I Ching is of the bright full moon.   The book contains  selected commentaries from the past 2,000 years.  Printing by Copper Canyon Press, Port Townsend, WA.  www.coppercanyonpress.org   Wu Ziying preformed beautiful musical interludes on the GuQin.

Thank you to Ming Holden for a beautiful copy of The Dog of Heaven: Truths and Myths of Blue Mongolia’s Wolf”.  Written by Hatagin Gotovin Akim , Edited by Ming Holden and published by the Asia Foundation. It’s a beautiful collection of stories and folk tales about wolves in Mongolia.

I am excited to have  received a signed copy of The Way of Tea © 2010 by Aaron Fisher with the inscription “may your cup be ever full brimming with presence.  May your cup be ever empty, in pure space awaiting the next.”

The Way of Tea draws upon the wisdom of ancient writings, as well as the author’s own experience drinking and studying tea….
