„The Water and Cloud Collection by Master Tan of Eternal Reality says, “When people revolve ceaselessly in routine birth and death, it is just because they are mindful.” “

„The Discourse on Mind by the Celestial Teacher of Emptiness and Tranquillity says, “Do not fear the arising of thoughts; just beware of tardiness in noticing. The arising of thoughts is sickness, not continuing them is medicine.” “

„To master the skill of gongfu cha, one needs all his senses and a great amount of concentration. As we gain experience, our movements become more automatic, like rituals. We can brew tea without really thinking, like we drive our car. In a calm setting, our mind is focused on the tea we brew. The choice of a good tea, the harmony of the tea set we use, the way we beautifully arrange the tea table... everything heightens our concentration and peace of mind.“
