In this short spoken piece, Daniel Schepers recounts a traditional Tibetan master‑disciple parable. A disciple, after years of chasing happiness, travels to Tibet to ask his master for the secret to being happy. The master calmly pours tea for both of them and, when asked what to do, tells the disciple, “when I drink tea, I drink tea.” The disciple is confused, but the master’s simple statement illustrates the core teaching: true happiness lies in being fully present in each activity—drinking tea, walking, showering—without mental distraction. The story emphasizes mindfulness and the idea that the key to life is living in the moment.
