Inspirational Quote: Knowing the Taste of Tea
Monday, January 4, 2010 at 11:06 PM filed under Weight Loss postings
It is impossible to know the taste of tea without first drinking it.
Studying tea will not help.
Meditating on tea will not help.
Listening to others talk about tea will not help.
Reading sutras about tea will not help.
Smelling the aroma of tea will not help.
Sitting blissfully in samahdi around tea will not help.
Seeking tea in exotic countries will not help.
Having profound insights about tea will not help.
Opening the heart in deep life-changing ways will not help.
Going inside a tea shop will not help.
All of these things are mere confusion and delaying tactics.
To know the taste of tea you must drink it. There is no other way.
--Toni Packer
