Awareness Tea Ceremony: Mindful Meditation & Ancient Tree Tea Tasting
（觉知茶会：禅修·七碗古树茶·正念共修)
Event Summary: Find deep calm through meditation, incense, chanting, and seven cups of ancient tree tea in this immersive awareness tea ceremony.
Event Overview:
"One bowl moistens the lips and throat; Two bowls shatter loneliness..." – Lu Tong, “Seven Bowls of Tea”
Inspired by the Tang Dynasty poet and tea immortal Lu Tong, 7s Art invites you to a unique experience of tea as spiritual practice.
The Awareness Tea Ceremony (觉知禅修茶会) is a 2-hour immersive journey that combines ancient tea rituals, guided mindfulness, and introspective reflection. Guided by a visiting Dharma teacher from Lingquan Temple in Shaanxi, China, along with experienced tea practitioners and attendants, this gathering offers a sanctuary of calm and presence in the heart of the city.
You'll taste seven cups of ancient tree tea, sourced from China and served during the Shen time (3–5 PM), a traditional period of internal clarity. As you drink, you're guided step by step from outer sensation to inner awareness—through breath, posture, flavor, and feeling.
The experience is enhanced with:
- A handcrafted tea table by a Dali-based artist
- Natural Chinese agarwood incense
- Background Buddhist chanting (梵呗)
- Gentle mindfulness instructions in Mandarin
Each movement, each sip becomes a path to stillness, allowing participants to release external distractions and tune into the quiet wisdom within.
