Éloge du silence
Une cérémonie du thé à l'Université Sophia (Blée, 2001, 13'51'')


This short movie (Exploring the Silence. A Tea Ceremony at Sophia University) presents the process of a Tea Ceremony that took place at Sophia University in Tokyo in February 2001. This Ceremony was organized by one of the members of the discussion group that gathered every Saturday around the Professor William Johnston, sj.

In Japan, the act of preparing tea has become a meditative practice, the means to enter into the depth of silence, a silence that contrasts so much with the Japanese modern society.
