Download or read book Zen and the art of win tasting written by I. M. Maciel and published by Editorial El Brujo de la Risa Fatal. This book was released on with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this suggestive and delightful book we will go around a road full of strange characters that will show us, at first hand, what Zen is, what it is about, and its amazing connection to the art and pleasure of wine tasting. Considering its deep roots, which go back to the dawn of the history of humanity, it will reveal us how two worlds apparently different, but complementing and enriching each other in an almost magical way, merge. As the renowned chef Ferran Adrià depicts in his prologue, through Zen philosophy, using its millenary knowledge and some of its techniques (such as zazen), I. M. Maciel’s work reveals the subtle connection between two forms of spirit, two orbs, different but with numerous and suggestive contact points. It is in this way how the reader will discover in its pages the seven precepts that will help him to enjoy, even more than he expected, the wonderful experience of wine tasting; but also to pay attention to the little things that we usually overlook, which hide inside the secret of real happiness".
Download or read book The One Taste of Truth written by William Scott Wilson and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This heartfelt ode to the meditative practice of drinking tea examines the origins of traditional tea culture in the East, revealing how a good cuppa can elevate both the mind and spirit Traditionally in China and Japan, drinking a cup of tea was an opportunity for contemplation, meditation, and an elevation of mind and spirit. Here, renowned translator William Scott Wilson distills what is singular and precious about this traditional tea culture, and he explores the fascinating connection between Zen and tea drinking. He unpacks the most common phrases from Zen and Chinese philosophy—usually found in Asia printed on hanging scrolls in tea rooms, restaurant alcoves, family rooms, and martial arts dojos—that have traditionally served as points of contemplation to encourage the appropriate atmosphere for drinking tea or silent meditation. Part history, part philosophy, part inspirational guide, The One Taste of Truth will connect you to the distinctive pleasure of sipping tea and allowing it to transport your mind and thoughts. This beautifully written book will appeal to tea lovers and anyone interested in tea culture, Chinese philosophy, and Zen.
