Send us a textIn this special bonus episode, Brittany shares one of the many messages she has given as a missionary. In July, Brittany had the privilege of speaking at a tea ceremony event (sado or chado in Japanese) held by her church in Japan. After studying the Zen Buddhist roots of Japanese tea ceremony, she considers the main principles of sado with a Christian, biblical perspective. And that led her to the concept of shalom, or “peace” in Hebrew. ---Show Notes and References:Click here to support me by donation --> Buy Me a Coffee!Books and Resources on Japanese Tea Ceremony:Zen and the Art of Tea by D.T.
