The Way through Baguazhang - 八卦掌道 - A podcast by Peter Hainzl

☳/☱ Hot off the press: Dudley drinks tea ダッドリー喝茶 and bashes heads! ☵/☷ Tea 茶 is a man's drink. And that is why British Pro-boxer Dudley drinks it. ☶/☲ Even though Dudley is a fictional character from Capcom's Streetfighter universe, I challenge any man to go twelve rounds with him in the ring. Are there any takers, or do you know of any other manly men out there who drink tea 喝茶? ☰/☵ For a lot of people, tea 茶 is falsely regarded as a woman's drink: Weak and feeble. Lacking in machismo. But if this were true, why then is it the second most drunk beverage in the world after water? ☷/☰ In the quest to define Tea Time equals Me time, the strongest men are actually those most at peace with themselves. Drinking tea 喝茶 is just an act that does not define them. ☱/☶ Their inner power comes from knowing that they define themselves. The world around them revolves around them. Not because they forced it to, but because in their reality it just does. ☲/☳ And that is the key essence of the tea 茶 in Tea Time equals Me Time: Allowing the ritual of drinking loose leaf tea 茶 to be calm, still and centred like a mountain 山 so that everything else moves around it. ☴/☴ This concept is called "Quiet Power". And is a defining quality wanted in a kung fu grandmaster 功夫師公. Liked what you heard & want to connect with me? Join me at… linkedin.com/in/peterhainzl/
