A cup of tea in the morning kicked off a beautiful day.
Boil water and make tea. A few minutes later, when the lid was uncovered, wisps of hot air were emitted from the purple clay teapot, and the fragrance of time was dense in the quiet morning light. Open the door, walk into the balcony, enjoy the beautiful scenery in the field while savoring the fragrant tea in the cup carefully.Mountain light, water color, chicken calls, bird sounds, flower fragrance, green vegetable beds, dark green paddy fields all float in the graceful morning light and blend with the tea in the cup and the mood in the chest. The pot is big and dry. the sun and moon in the cup are long. it is impossible to tell which is the outside world and which is the inside world.Shadows of trees, houses, running puppies, working farmers and the soft light of the may sun bring fresh vitality to the quiet fields.
Like this kind of quiet and leisurely life, like this kind of carefree feeling in my heart, don't need to get up early and race against time, don't need to work hard to earn food. Every day is a good day, every time is a good day, true Okay!
Life is a practice, and practice and cherish, and practice and realize. Daily meditation talks about Tao, qingxin oligonucleotides desire, simple living, happy in it. There is no class in the morning. after washing, go out to eat a bowl of soup powder or some steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, then take a leisurely walk in the garden, camphor tree and cinnamon tree forest, then go home for tea and write calligraphy.After tasting the fragrant teas, I wrote a few words. my heart was silent, and the words were also silent. there was no smell of fireworks. Both Zen and tea flavors are incorporated into the characters, and both pens and pens are buddhas. I like to recite buddhas while writing and walking, and practice leisure and practice without mistake. Every word is amitabha Buddha, every step is amitabha Buddha. he uses Buddha to take care of his mind. he only feels refreshed and detached. his whole body and mind are full of positive energy.
Green and green bamboos are all real. is it true that green and yellow flowers are compatible? Landscape and pastoral areas, weeds and flowers, rocky sand and flying clouds and dancing butterflies are all quiet in my eyes. Buddha said: the idealism of all laws is made. The outside world is the world in my heart. this is the wonder of the universe. People who do not understand cannot believe it in any way.
The first bubble of water is rich in tea aroma and astringent in taste. I often take down the lid of the teapot and leave some gaps so that the tea is not so astringent. Let the tea leave out for breath, and the fragrance will double. Let the mood come out to breathe? The same reason. One should not always be stuffy. one should often take out one's heart and blend it into the boundless universe, and one will get a Buddha's heart.
The second bubble of water makes tea fragrant and sweet. Nagan is sweet to the senses after tasting bitter taste. after experiencing many pains in life, he slowly discovered that living is pain and happiness. Life is sweet in bitterness. If you don't bear hardships, you won't feel either bitter or sweet. Buddha said: this is a world of Shiva, and Shiva is a pity. Without many regrets of life, you will not cherish everything you have.
The third bubble of water made the tea smell weak and the tea smell weak. My heart is weak, everything will be weak, my heart is clean, everything will be clean. In fact, drinking plain boiled water quietly will also taste the light sweet taste in the water. Even if you eat white rice and black steamed buns, you don't have fish to eat, chew carefully, and have sweet taste. As long as we calm down our comparison, we will feel that the plain life is the real life we have to live. it is more lasting than riding on the wind and stormy winds. Light emotions and light years are what we want.
Two movements of drinking tea, pick it up and put it down. Different teas have different tastes. Different people have different stories. Different time, different mood; But pick it up and put it down, it is the same, Zen environment is the same.
Hanshan temple in Suzhou is full of Buddha's tea. Tea is bland and tasteless, but it has a faint scent of bamboo leaves more than clear water. A pot of green bamboo leaves, hanging but not sinking, and floating and heavy. Both Zen and tea. Life is uncertain, time flies and time sinks. The heart is a pot, the universe, the sea and the fields, the clouds fall in Yun Qi, the flowers bloom and bloom, and the heart is as firm as a rock. The heart is a porcelain cup, and it is also compassionate. the wind and rain are as bad as rain, the sun rises and the moon falls, the mountains and rivers change color, and it does not change its original heart. it is white as jade. No matter what happens to your heart, nothing happens to you. No distractions, everything is in the balance. Zen master Hanshan said: my heart is like the moon and the blue pond is clear and bright. Heart is clean, everything is clean.
Tea is very expensive and simple. Simple thatched cottage, pure natural landscape, pure natural state of mind. All artificial decorations are superfluous. Zen environment stresses vanity and calmness. The neighbors in the courtyard built a thatched cottage on the top of the hill behind the house, a four-corner roof covered with fir bark, a log structure, and a stainless steel gourd-shaped spire that gleamed in the sun like a Buddha's brake and also like an ancient pavilion.Bamboo chairs and tables are built in the room. outside the room, there is a small bridge flowing water pond with disorderly stones piled up, bamboo shadows slanting and winding. on the slope, there are several strains of osmanthus trees. frogs are singing in the pond, loach plays with water, and several lotus leaves are scattered. Every time the master comes to have nothing to do with his leisure, he cooks tea leisurely, or at dusk, or in the early morning, or in the rain, or under the moon, he is as free as a fairy.
I like the primary-color teahouse, which has no trace of artificial carving and has a spontaneous and spontaneous nature. It is best to have a couch under the pavilion, tired of resting on the sound of water and frog drum to sleep, let the tea fragrance diffuse, rendering dreams. The ancient bluestone paved the way, covered with moss, and even more lonely. Because of the high terrain, you can see the scenery of the whole city, climb high and look far away, feel relaxed and happy, and even have a good time!
Buddhist temples are often empty. secular homes are often decorated exquisitely while furniture is packed. These are all like our state of mind. common people like to enrich their hearts and enjoy being busy. The person who becomes a monk is very quiet and likes to be empty and empty until he has nothing in his heart, so as to achieve " everything in nothing".
The teahouse is also empty, and in the meantime, it gives people a feeling of peace and tranquility. In the meantime, one can meditate, meditate, clarify one's body and mind, be quiet and free from filth, and be free from common thoughts.
Rate meaning a little bit, can follow the gender. The stone table and chair under the tree, the open balcony, and the clean and tidy living room are all drinking places. it is good to be simple. There is no need for luxury furnishings, no need for high-end tea sets, no need for expensive tea leaves, and no need for famous spring water. Tasting tea means tasting the heart and entering the environment. There is a beauty of drinking alone, and there is a beauty of drinking many. life is in tea, the universe is in tea, the sun and moon are in tea, and the mood is in tea.Mr. Liang Shiqiu said, " clear tea is the most elegant." If there are friends who like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting poems, playing the piano, playing chess, writing poems, throwing ink, chanting poems, saying Zen, tea tasters can enjoy the performance while smelling the tea fragrance and taste the tea flavor, then they are full of elegant cultural taste. Tea tasting and enlightenment in leisure is a kind of happiness and also a kind of realm.
Tea is the spirit of nature, simple and unadorned, and natural. Each kind of tea, each piece of tea has its own different taste. Just like each of us, being a separate individual, has its own bitter life. Scented tea is gorgeous, brick tea is rich, green tea is fresh, and each part is the same. Each kind of tea has its own brewing method, each has its own interest, and each has its own nature. From the variety and provenance of tea leaves, you can taste the mountain scenery and the spirit of nature. Look at the world from pieces of tea and realize life from tea.Put it down and pick it up. that's the whole life. Tea making, tea drinking, meditation, enlightenment, purification. A piece of iced heart is in the jade pot, making the pure heart and clean landscape blend together, and finding the most natural true self. Tea, meditation, in the cool breeze of the bright moon, in the green mountains and running water, under the white clouds and blue sky ......
Tea, Buddha blindly. Buddha said empty is color. A cup of tea, with what kind of tea, water, cup, are very exquisite. Purple clay, ceramic and bamboo are all excellent products. Purple clay is one of the most admired ones. the tea flavor is also more intense. Ceramics is also a porcelain cup, which is commonly used in Buddhism. it takes homonym " compassion". in fact, it is tea that is tasted, and the body is the environment. Bamboos, a little bit more clumsy, bubble tea, also a little more bamboo leaf fragrance, with a little more plain, quietly elegant. Zen tea is the most important thing.Pay attention to the external environment, state of mind, human condition. The best thing is the integration of the three worlds. it is precisely the state of mind of " nothing at all, where to annoy dust" that meets bamboo forest and people outside the world in a fairyland. naturally, there is the big state of " green and green bamboos are all real, green and yellow flowers are not compatible". A pot of tea, a universe; A cup of tea, a life; The state of mind is a person's state. what is his state of mind and what is his state of mind? Clear mind, Zen and sense.
In the ancient temple of the green lantern, the product is empty, in the piano desk, the study is elegant, and in the flower room, the product is romantic. Zen, one thousand people realize, ten thousand people realize. Different people, enlightenment Zen is also different, it is " Qianjiang river has water Qianjiang month". The same cup of tea can produce different flavors. each person experiences different experiences, deep or shallow, extroverted or introverted, different human environment, different external environment, different mood, each has its own method, each has its own life, and the tea in the mouth also has its own flavor. But all tastes are empty and nothing. The highest realm of tea tasting is not the Tao, nor is it the Zen that participates in it. there is nothing to live in and nothing to gain from it.
A meditation, tea blindly. Watching tea and understanding the heart, everything is one thing, the heart is clear, and let the clouds roll with the clouds.
Tasting tea and tasting life is also no tea to taste and no life to meditate on. One can't read without living, one can't read without dying, one can't understand, and one can't get anything.
Zen does not say, Buddha does not say a word. All thoughts are miscellaneous thoughts. All hearts are false. Only when you don't think and keep silent can you be quiet. The above presumptions only add to the annoyance and draw lessons from them!
