That is such insightful and fascinating information and experience, especially how everyone enters the same way, leaves their social status behind in a way. Humility keeps us grounded to our humanity.

Thank you! I've gotten to know so many interesting people through tea ceremony but what unites us is that we're all prepared to be humble and share a bowl of tea as equals. Yes, there are teachers & students, but in a way, everyone is a teacher & a student at the same time. You're right, it grounds us in our humanity.
