In a simple cup of tea I perceive all the various forms of Quan Yin. When drinking the tea, tasting it, simply being in this moment, Quan Yin is with me. I enjoy the cup of tea as it nestles warmly in my hands, savoring the aroma and watching the water vapor float and ripple in the room. This brings me back to the present moment - to the center of my being. In this cup of tea, I gaze Quan Yin's water from the White Land of the Soul, the rain clouds, the tea plants and much more, so that this moment does not only connect me with my Buddhist tradition, but also with the realms of the invisible worlds. All of this is interwoven and acts hand in hand for the benefit of all beings!
Golden stairs appear in front of me, in my dream. They lead upwards. I climb the steps and enter a large hall with many windows. The room is almost empty. However, in the distance I notice an old wooden chest of drawers with a mirror placed on it. In front of the mirror is a bowl filled with white water - a silvery white lotus flower floats gently in the glistening water. I look into the mirror ... suddenly I find myself on a snow-covered mountain. There is a path to my right; prayer wheels are lined up along the path. The mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" shines along the prayer wheels. I am surrounded by many pilgrims turning the prayer wheels. Dressed in white robes, I also begin to set the prayer wheels in motion as I climb up the mountain. The sky is endlessly blue, the sun is shining. When I reach the summit, it is bathed in golden light. Suddenly I feel Quan Yin's presence and hear a loud voice: "Your life is a prayer to Quan Yin!"
