It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor
Tea is a beverage enjoyed by all.
Savour the taste and sip away
In a cup and saucer or mug if you like
Fill your thermos and go for a hike.
One cup of tea from the minute you rise
Will have you happy, alert and wise.
Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
as if it is the axis on which the world
Earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future.
Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life.
Vietnamese Monk
