Japanese Tea House
Eastern Religions Field Trip

Fri, 11 May, 2012 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Wa-Shin-An, which translates literally as “Peace-Mind-House,” is a traditional Japanese meditation garden and teahouse, was designed to present the universe in miniature — but a universe tranquilized and cleansed. It offers a refuge from the distraction of our lives, a place to cultivate the silence of the heart.

Meditation gardens and teahouses were traditionally intended to bring visitors beyond even peace. To enter the ceremony of tea and to forget your separateness while drinking it — that is the art of tea. In such moments the innermost goodness of our being asserts itself, and we are whole again, beyond confusion. (from the Mount Holyoke College website)
