drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it as the axis on which the world revolves

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axison which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, withoutrushing toward the future. Live the actual moment.Only this moment is life.

If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.

The leaves that remain are only a very small part of the tea. The tea that goes into me is a much bigger part of the tea. It is the richest part.
We are the same; our essence has gone into our children, our friends, and the entire universe. We have to find ourselves in those directions and not in the spent tea leaves.

You practice mindfulness, on the one hand, to be calm and peaceful. On the other hand, as you practice mindfulness and live a life of peace, you inspire hope for a future of peace.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.
