Tea with a monk

Today we visited one of the most simple yet most spiritual Biddhist
Temples. Ssanggyesa monastery is well known in Korea and in the
Buddhist world.

They have an organic farm and anyone can go and live there while they
learn to farm in an organic and "Zen" way. Sounds neat, for a week.

While there we were invited to have tea with the Head of the
Monastery. Even the Koreans we were with had never done this!

He was great. He spoke pretty good English and had a very warming
smile. We had a couple of cups of tea with him.
