Join us monthly as we share aspects of Zen and Tea Ceremony. Presented as a meditational activity in the use of handcrafted implements, the bonding between host and guest, and the structured movements they share in making and drinking a bowl of matcha tea. The tea ceremony developed under the influence of Zen Buddhism, with the aim of purifying oneself by becoming one with nature. Explanation of tea etiquette, equipment, and vocabulary will be given so practitioners will be able to participate fully in the taking of tea. Hosted by Joe Haeng Sah Fisher, CZC’s Vice Abbot who has taken the 16 precepts of our zen lineage and has completed tea studies in Nyūmon, Konarai, and Chabako of the Urasenke school. Preregistration not required.

Myo Wol has studied with Zen Master Dae Gak since the inception of the CZC in 1994. In 2008 he received Inka (permission to teach), becoming Resident Teacher. His interest is the activity of manifesting original nature right in the midst of the challenge, heartbreak, and unbounded joy of daily life.

Previous experience sitting with the CZC or Furnace Mountain Sangha is recommended, or equivalent experience.
