A Cup of Tea
一杯茶
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
A young man asked an old teacher, how do I find peace? The teacher poured a cup of tea and said, "Drink." "But I'm searching for the meaning of life."
The teacher smiled. If you cannot taste this cup of tea, you will miss your whole life. Yesterday is memory. Tomorrow is imagination.
Life is served only in this moment. Wherever you go, there you are.
