Dao (), an ancient Chinese Taoism philosophy that Chinese actually do not use it often as Japanese, because Chan (Zen) is very complex due to its simplicity. Chinese Chan (Zen) emphasizes natural inner awareness for inner peace and harmony through non-stop learning, reflection and practice.

Tea and Chan (Zen) share the same philosophies - Nature & Clarity, Tolerance & Respect, Calm & Peace, Tranquility & Mind Do you have other personal philosophy? Don't worry, the tea ceremony today allows people to express individual philosophy and preference freely in a peaceful and harmony manner.

Tea ceremony is not exactly on what you do, but rather how you prepare, serve and appreciate the moment of tea. The fundamental principles remain the same as what Lu-Yu's Cha Jing:

-- Selection of tea
-- Tea and water
-- Tea and tea ware
-- Self-cultivation in manner, peace and harmony through tea ceremony

Basically there are four different ways of tea ceremony and the choice of tea ware is varied according to the type of tea and the process is slightly:

-- Using glass
-- Using GaiWan
-- Using Yixing Teapot
-- Using ChaWan

It is easy to learn the tea ceremony process, and you can easily practice at home to prepare a perfect cup of tea. As regards to what and how to enhance the self-cultivation for inner peace and harmony, it requires constant practice and further learning through reflection.
