​An intimate encounter with the art of letting go, the beauty of impermanence and the practice of presence.

​Join us at Nomad Tea Temple for an exploration of Chinese water calligraphy, the wisdom of the Heart Sutra and the ancient way of tea.

​The Experience

​Water Calligraphy

​Discover the meditative art of Chinese water calligraphy, using water instead of ink. On a special practice scroll, each character emerges through the movement of the brush, only to slowly disappear as the water evaporates.

​A beautiful practice of expression without attachment — where nothing needs to be perfected, preserved or held onto. Only the present moment matters.

​

​Heart Sutra Meditation | 心经

​At the heart of this gathering is the Heart Sutra, one of the most profound texts of Mahayana Buddhism. Its central teaching, emptiness (Śūnyatā), invites us to look beyond permanence and fixed forms, and recognise the ever-changing nature of existence.

​

​Authentic Tea Ceremony

​We will conclude with a refined tea ceremony featuring rare aged teas from ancient wild forests. Through the leaves of old-growth tea trees, shaped by time and nature, we explore tea as a living expression of its origins.

​From holding a brush to holding a teacup, every gesture becomes an invitation to slow down, listen and return to ourselves.

​一滴一念，一期一会。

​One drop, one thought. One encounter, never repeated.
