Zen & Tea: One Flavor

A Tea Sit with Global Tea Hut Founder and Zen Monk Wu De

The Zen Center of Denver is honored to host author, Zen monk, and founder of the Global Tea Hut, Wu De for a special 3-hour seminar on Zen and tea. We will sit quietly for tea and then Wu De will lecture on the deep relationship between Zen and tea, perhaps the topic dearest to his heart. From the Global Tea Hut website:

“My name is Wu De and I love tea. I love everything about it, from the history to the science, the art to the spirit. Our work is to share tea that inspires a love for Nature, to promote tea farmers that are working sustainably in harmony with their environments and to explore the vast and rich world of tea lore through writing, translating, filming courses and building spaces for in person learning. I am also inspired by tea’s ability to be a useful part of self-cultivation and to change lives and open hearts. When our hearts are open, we find a common, loving space where listening is primary and our disputes with one another dissolve. Through tea, we make friends—lasting friendships with our selves, with others and with Nature. I hope we can drink some tea together one day soon.”

You can register for this event on the Boulder Tea Hut’s website at www.boulderteahut.org/events. The cost for this workshop is $120, though a sliding scale fee is available.
