Evening of Tea, Zen, and Poetry at Teance September 25, 2008

Celebrate the publication of Norman Waddell's book The Old Tea Seller: Life and Zen Poetry in 18th Century Kyoto. Nelson Foster, a renowned Zen teacher, will read from The Old Tea Seller and share his thoughts about tea and Zen. Reflect on the life of Baisao over cups of premium Japanese green teas Sencha and Gyokuro, paired with Kyoto-style wagashi sweets, and listen to the soothing sound of shakuhachi music performed live.


The Old Tea Seller is a masterful translation and presentation of poems, letters, biography, and commentary, which gives readers a compelling look into the life of the 18th-century Japanese Zen priest-cum-tea merchant, Baisao. Hardcover copies of Waddell's book will be available to purchase at a 15% discount. RSVP now for this very special event!
