Quick notes on the three yanas-
Hinayana: I am present in my sacred space during my first tea of the day and doing my meditation. Since I combined my first tea with meditation and set up a visually appealing spot in my house, my meditation has been consistent and an open-awareness practice and acceptance.
Mahayana: I struggle with this one. I’ve been meditating online with koans, and that has helped a lot. It gets me to feel open-hearted, as these older stories and “zip files” resonate with me.
Vajrayana: Tea feels sacred and magical. How is one plant able to be cultivated and processed into so many different flavors and somatic experiences? I don’t know. It could be magic.
