Wanna hear a story about how tea came to China? After bringing the Sutras out of India, Bhodidharma was trying to establish his practice but kept falling asleep during meditation. Eventually, he became so frustrated that he cut off his eyelids and threw them on the ground. Where Bhodidharma's eyelids fell, two tea bushes magically appeared so that we could all meditate without falling asleep. Haha, gross! But seriously, thanks to Bhodidharma for tea (and the Mahayana). #religion #buddhism #tea
