Listen to the rain eat tea sit Shaolin

On that day, the rain fell filaments continuously, sprinkled the Cupress needle crystal crystal, continuously assembled into beads, needles can not move, then toward the green SLATE, dribbling falling.
Passengers are getting wet in their clothes.
Millennium Shaolin, Zen ancestral court, a person can clear the mind calm afternoon.
“Let’s go and have tea with the abbot.” With the companion to step west across the courtyard “abbot retreat”.
At the right time, the big monk Yongxin was “at home”, and when the little novice lifted the curtain, Xu Xing made fun of each other and said, “Here we come.” Reaching out is like giving up your seat without holding it.
With Yamato there are about a few years, if not uncommon before the appeal, to the temple to remember to turn a corner to visit, meet is the edge, not see is also the edge. Every partner said “take me to see the Abbot of Yongxin”, and the reply was just one sentence: “To say again, see the fate.”
In front of the Buddha’s statue, a stove of sandalwood curls up.
When there were no other visitors, he sat casually at a tea table in a corner of the room.
Yongxin sat down, slightly pull monk clothes, take the pot of water, index finger gently touch the power to heat the water. Water is spring water, stove is induction cooker, water in the pot, pot on the stove, sizzle lala sing. Yongxin picked up a bag of Dahongpao and said, “Drink this.” Water purifier, separate the tea boat, wait for the water to boil, a finger gently turn off the power, open the tea into the tureen, flush the water, wash the tea, make tea.
With the fragrance of tea, the tea water in the glass tea cup is calm, pure and transparent. Several synchronous with Yongxin signal, we picked up the tea cup sip, full of warm and mellow mouth, a cup drink, throat kiss smoothly, after three cups, only the tea in front of the mouth and tea fragrance.
“Monk speech spirit taste should be quiet, pick Qiaoying for Jia guest”. Yongxin only means to sip tea together, is very focused on adding water and tea. After a pot of tea, fill the pot and boil water.
Taking advantage of this break, the tea conversation with the fire partner came up. From who’s grandfather filled the new purple sand pot with raw soybeans, and then filled it with clean water to tighten it, and the body of the pot was swollen with soybeans and inlaid with gold 锔子, to the clay pot built by Master Wha-wha at a starting price of one million yuan; From whose home tea bed is chicken wings wood, to whose home is rosewood; From the Song Dynasty rabbit hair cup, Ming and Qing dynasties gold cup jade bowl, until Lin Daiyu eat tea with who called “point rhinoceros” have called “apricot rhinoceros” is the cup made of rhino horn. It was pulled away in a cloud.
Opposite Yongxin just sat there, waiting for the water to boil, and then poured the tea. Then, raising his eyebrows and smiling, he said, “The key is to have good tea first.”
A word, my heart immediately a spirit, to use the sentence “straight as the bottom of the barrel off” as if, stand up, staring at the smile of the Yongxin, then if the heavy duty, sit down, mouth murmured: “Zen zen.” Eat tea, eat tea, the body is tea. After a lot of talk, only one arrived. Tea ’ Oooh. To the heart…”
Yongxin gently waved to stop me going on to say “see the sex into Buddha”, leisurely said: “Some people make tea, look at the clock, counting the seconds. I really don’t need it. Make tea, eat tea, with the mind on the line, the dedication to perceive when the tea should pour out, the tea to the mouth, small mouth or big drink naturally done. When you soak and drink like this, you get your own taste.”
Yes, there is an important word in Chinese Buddhism culture called “understanding”, which is to realize the essence in the body, to recognize the face and face of the blue, and to grasp the quality of things. In the past, Zhaozhou monks saw people on the way to “eat tea to go”, which was not only the joint to start to make it wrong, but also to the general qi cut heart to treat people. Therefore, Mr. Zhao Puchu’s poem said: “Seven bowls of taste, one pot of real fun.” It is better to eat tea than to hold on to a thousand things.” Park old said Gatha is not Gatha, is called Gatha, veto is the kind of marginal “emptiness”, as its Shaolin accounts for “the first in the country, is Zen is not a fist”, straight to the “Zen” of who “Zen fist unity” ontology.
Amid the clatter of rain, Yongxin said, “It’s raining hard now, and I can’t walk away for a while. Try another kind of tea.”
South look in the rain Shaoshi mountain, shadow is just a general outline.
