Don't serve your broke-ass thoughts any tea (and other Buddhist contemplations)
Buddhist philosophy and mythology serve up some helpful metaphors in the form of whether or not to "serve tea" to our thoughts, stories, and narratives.
In today's episode of The Sage & The Song we explore a specific contemplation on money, and use one such tea metaphor to examine how we get caught in cycles of scarcity thinking, and how to break free. I also included a story of the Buddha and Mara, another wonderfully helpful tea analogy.
