An Afternoon of Tea Ceremony and Heart Sutra
29 November, 2025
16:00-18:30
In the Bliss Room at Northern Light Yoga, there is a serene drawing of Guanyin — the Chinese depiction of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.
In the Heart Sutra, Avalokiteśvara enters deep meditation and realizes the essence of the Buddha’s wisdom — understanding the nature of emptiness and the five skandhas (form, feeling, perception, mental formation, and consciousness).
Over centuries, the Heart Sutra has held a central place in Chinese Buddhism, inspiring calligraphy, painting, music, and meditation as expressions of insight and peace.
By weaving the spirit of the Heart Sutra into a tea ceremony, we bring this wisdom into a living, sensory experience — a practice of awareness through taste, sound, and mindful presence.
A cup of tea can be a temple when the mind is quiet and the heart is open.
This event features:
Heart Sutra talk and meditation with music (by Massimo)
Mindful tea ceremony (by Maoting)
Chinese calligraphy experience (guided by Yating)
Join us for an afternoon of calm and cultural discovery.
