“When you eat, you do not know it is rice; Meet tea and eat tea, I do not know it is tea “(Picture source: material map)
“Bi Yan Record · Volume 8” in the 80th Koan cloud “Teaching the middle way ‘ … In all times, walking, sitting and lying, regardless of gain or loss, let flow into the sea of Sabaruo. ’ The monks, when they come here, they are not attached, but they are comfortable at any time, eat tea when they meet tea, and eat dinner when they meet rice.” It means that Scripture says, “… In all times, walking, sitting, lying, regardless of gain or loss. Ren flows into the Sabarro Sea.” Even if a monk can reach such a point, he will not be attached to such a point, as long as he is comfortable at any time, eating tea when he meets tea, and eating food when he meets food.
“Enlightenment Buddha fruit quotes of Zen Master · Small ginseng” said: “Take off the feeling dust thought, put the teaching body and mind, empty labor in all the time meet tea eat tea, meet rice eat.” “Small ginseng II” said: “When the meal to eat, I do not know is the meal; Meet tea to eat tea, I do not know is tea “” Small ginseng six” said: “Meet rice to eat, meet tea to eat tea, all day only idle, cover his chest without a lot of waves. Therefore, Tao, if there is no matter in the heart, all the Fa is the same, there is no gain and no loss, and all day long only practice this one point. Anyone who asks, just cut it off. Therefore, Tao, seeing must be realized, and enlightenment must be realized.”
It should be said that “eat tea when you meet tea” belongs to the mantra of enlightened students of Linji Zong, enlightening Zen monks to conform to nature, have nothing to gain and lose, rest the heart that is, see the nature into Buddha. With “eat tea to go” must be the way.
