There was once a renowned tea master in ancient Japan, known for his serene demeanor and exquisite tea ceremonies. One day, while walking through the town, he accidentally bumped into a ronin, a masterless samurai. The ronin, known for his quick temper, felt insulted and challenged the tea master to a duel.
The tea master, though skilled in the art of tea, knew nothing of fighting. He accepted the challenge but requested a day's time to prepare. The ronin agreed.
Distraught, the tea master sought counsel from a Zen master. He explained his predicament, fearing the inevitable outcome. The Zen master, listening patiently, advised him, "Tomorrow, perform the tea ceremony as you always do, with complete mindfulness and presence. Then, face the ronin with the same calm."
The next day, the tea master prepared the tea ceremony with his usual grace and focus, immersing himself entirely in the process. The ronin, observing the tea master’s calm and composed demeanor, felt an unexpected wave of tranquility wash over him. He realized that the tea master, though unarmed, was not afraid.
When the time for the duel arrived, the tea master stood before the ronin with the same serene expression. The ronin, moved by the tea master’s peaceful presence, bowed deeply and said, "You have taught me a great lesson in courage and calm. There is no need for a duel."
With that, the ronin sheathed his sword and walked away, leaving the tea master in peace.
