Tea With The Abbot
Deepen your understanding of Zen while sipping tea.
You are warmly invited to schedule a private meeting with Venerable Myong-Ahn Sunim for a quiet and meaningful conversation over tea. In the Zen tradition, tea is more than a drink — it is an opportunity to slow down, to listen deeply, and to meet the present moment with clarity and sincerity.
Tea With the Abbot offers a personal setting where you can speak openly and receive guidance grounded in the living tradition of Zen practice. Whether you are new to Buddhism or have practiced for many years, this is a chance to explore the Dharma in a direct and human way.
You may wish to ask about:
-
Your personal meditation practice
-
Your spiritual journey
-
The Buddha Dharma
-
Zen teachings and daily life
-
Questions about ethics, meditation, or practice challenges
-
Or simply the concerns of everyday living
This is a space to:
-
Resolve doubts
-
Clarify understanding
-
Pacify concerns
-
Receive encouragement
-
Or simply enjoy a peaceful cup of tea
There is no formal agenda and no expectation. Some meetings are filled with questions and discussion; others unfold quietly in shared presence. Each meeting is guided by sincerity and the spirit of compassionate listening.
Come as you are.
Bring your questions,
or bring none at all.
Let's just have tea
