the clean state


I love the story of the Tea of Forgetfulness, cause i always thought about reborn, again and again in this life, sometimes we don't need to die to just feel that we are starting a new life...just...just...just...if we could get some of that tea...


MENG-PO, often known simply as Lady Meng ('Dream'), is the Buddhist Goddess who dishes out the Bittersweet Broth of Oblivion. This is a mystic brew made from herbs and pond water which she prepares for the souls of the dead.

She is waiting for you at the Ninth Chinese Hell in FENG-DU, where your soul will be ready to leave the recycling centre and head for the reincarnation door. One sip of her Five-Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness and you will lose all memory of who you were. This ensures that when you are reborn you can start with a clean slate.

This amnesia is supposed to be an act of mercy.


(I am sure about it ;))

It is really nice. I like those kind of readings. Do you know the story of the frog and the scorpion? It’s great. Last thing I think that amnesia is “THE” act of mercy.

and, yes for sure it is THE act of mercy, we are always trying to remember, when should just try to forget :)
