Bowing To Teacup: During my podcast there was a story of a monk who bowed to his teacup. How strange it might seem at first to give reverence to an inanimate object. Then when you think how the cup gives you needed fluid, and how there are people who wash the cup, and the person who made the cup, the materials from nature that the cup is made from, etc.etc. all of a sudden it seems perfectly natural to bow to the cup and show your appreciation.
