Johannes Tan

Disciples and devotees…what are most of them doing?
Worshipping the teapot instead of drinking the tea!

I'm an English <> Indonesian Translator & Conference Interpreter,but in my free time I like … to read (The New Yorker, books about Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Sufism, Eastern Philosophy in general), to learn (History, Epistemology, Nietzsche, Evolutionary Anthropology, Astronomy, Mind & Consciousness), to move (hiking, yoga, tennis and table tennis), to enjoy music (jazz, classical, New Age) and to ask questions. "Language was invented to ask questions. Answers may be given by grunts and gestures, but questions must be spoken. Humanness came of age when man asked the first question." (Eric Hoffer)
