Tea Ceremony

by Jenny

一期一會( One Life, One Opportunity)

The burning of the Tea Pagoda is precedented by a Tea Ceremony performed for a gathering in the Pagoda effigy. Each hour, the Sun-Moon Dial put together from rocks gathered on the beach, is ritualistically moved around the Tea Pagoda, just like the ever-flowing water in sudden contact with the rhythm of a poem, the smoke of insense, or the sight of Buddha.
