"Surrounded by mystery, the tea ceremony does not refer so much to the art of serving it as to cultivating the sensibility to experience the world here and now: to live in the present. This ancient practice is not limited to what the eyes see. This book is based on the texts that tea masters use to deliver their wisdom to their disciples. It is composed of short stories, parables that combine philosophy and poetry to reveal the mechanisms of mind and the true nature of consciousness."
