The Tibetan Tea Ceremony is a wonderful and delightful ceremony. A bowl and cup are set in the center of a table and tea is poured into the cup. It is symbolic of our lives. When we are open to receive goodness, our blessings overflow.

In a Tibetan Tea Ceremony, you don’t drink any tea, but rather you chant and bring a wish to be granted by the Enlightened Dharma Guardians, making requests on everyone’s behalf. During the ceremony, each person is invited to participate and make a wish.

They’ll chant (the deep resonate Tibetan chanting that they are famous for) and then close around noon.
