Many Zen adepts have kept a teabowl close to their cushion and are adamant that zen and tea are of one taste. Peter Bursky, Apprentice Zen teacher and Tea Master, invites everyone to dive into this delicious truth for yourselves. In this Dharma talk he gives us the fascinating history of the Way of tea, it’s many shifts and changes and it’s relationship to Zen.

This Dharma talk, as well as the ritual of sharing tea, was given by Peter Bursky at the March Zazenkai at the Annandale zendo.
