Tea, Meditation & Community Dharma Talks in Tiergarten

This Saturday we’ll meet in Tiergarten for another simple outdoor meditation session with Chinese tea, quiet practice, and a new community element: short dharma-talk-style sharing. The structure will be familiar: * Chinese tea and a short intro * 20 min metta * 20 min samatha / calm concentration * A community dharma talk * 20 min vipassana / open awareness * More tea and informal exchange The community dharma talk idea is inspired by how talks are sometimes done in Zen schools: a student gives a short speech about everyday life, how they came to practice, how meditation has affected them, and maybe one small nugget of wisdom they have discovered along the way. Of course, none of us are here as teachers or authorities. The spirit is simply to share honestly from our own experience: practice in real life, with real problems, real changes, real doubts, and maybe a little clarity. **When:** Saturday, May 2, 1 PM **Where:** Tiergarten park (see pin) **Bring:** something to sit on, comfortable clothes, and optionally your own tea cup Beginners are very welcome. Come for the tea, the practice, the park, or just to sit quietly with others. Please join our [Telegram group](https://t.me/+mNcEV0--Rho0OTgy).
