Greeting from Master Izi student
Master Izi says-
‘ One cup of real Tea refresh the spirit.
Two cups of drink will indicate the host is appreciating
your travel, your struggle, your trust and friendship’ .
Zen masters take elaborate preparation to set up a tea hut meeting with guests, always with several tea attendants or disciples to serve and take notes of exchange of knowledge and wisdom of Tao’. No weapons are allowed inside the tatami tea hut and the tea pot, cups, boiled water and some cakes are arranged to indicate each guest/host ranks.
Nietzsche says in Thus Spoke Zarathustra : “ Shatter, shatter the good and just ! O my brother, have you understood this saying too ? Do you flee from me ? Are you afraid. Do you tremble at this words ? Now you shall be sea farers, brave, patient seafarers ! The sea is stormy ! “.
So we offer this olive branch and greeting to all budhhist travellers
if tired and exhausted...our teahut below the Himalaya mountain are
always open and sheltered.
