Drinking Tea @ Jhana Grove Meditation Centre

In retreat, I think it’s good to have some calming tea available, letting retreatant feel relax and settle into the environment fast or able to have better sleep at night, then able to meditate.  I remembered in those Executive Retreats, often, special afternoon tea served by the hotel are pandan, lemon grass, blue pea, roselle … (w/wo sugar)

In Jhana Grove, I often made a cup of coffee in the morning and a cup of tea in the afternoon. Then, simply sat down, leaning this – “When there’s nothing to do, then do nothing. When there is something to do, give it 100%”.
