Summary
Listen to episode 1126 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Beauty & The Philosophy of Tea. Edited and adapted from The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzō. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt :The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about humanity and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by making all its votaries aristocrats in taste. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
