Bamboo Sea Sutra
Text/Tan Zhongchi
Vast universe, heaven and earth for the heart; yin and yang, ancient echoes. Mountains and rivers are of the same origin, the wind is dew and ganlin, the sun and the moon are brilliant, and all things are alive. I am now a bamboo, but the quality of the enlightenment; although it is a winter grass, it is unique. Life and death stand on the ridges, proud frost and snow bending and stretching. Thousands of grinding blows are still strong, exhaling into the spirit of rainbow seeing. The bones are shattered without changing their whiteness, and the body can be burned without changing its virginity. Bamboo is a virtuous gentleman of zhengde, and qingya is clean and quiet in the forest. "The high festival is heavy on each other, and the world knows with an open mind." Such benevolence is hearty, and it is even good to be true. Thinking of Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was originally from Guiyang County. Entering the palace skillfully through craftsmanship, Hongdao Jishi dared to be martyred. Breaking bamboo and papermaking win the sky, and the world casts civilization. Mo sighed that the years were long, the earthly world was floating and sinking, the grass was ruined, and the trees were decaying. From the danger of being trapped, green blood and sweat, ice and snow festival exercises, green mist clouds. Oh: A bamboo thousand mountains in the chest of the sea, a hundred flowers and a thousand trees in the world. Bamboo embraces mulberry weaving splendid embroidery, and bamboo protects the people and reports taiping. Bamboo treasure is passed down from generation to generation, and Qiankun is read in the Bamboo Sea Sutra.
exegesis:
Song Shenkuo's "Mengxi Pen Talks about Strange Things": "There is no bamboo in Yan County, and this (bamboo fossil) is under dozens of feet of soil, and I don't know what it is." Is it not ancient, the earth is humble and wet and suitable for bamboo? ”

These four verses are the essence of Sinology, and Yu integrates them into the "Bamboo Sea Classic", and its meaning is self-evident to the reader.
Bamboo Sea Zen Tea
Text/Xiao Derong
The Song Dynasty monk Yuan Wu Keqin used zen concepts and speculations to taste the infinite mysteries of tea, and wrote "Tea Zen One Taste" in Shimen Jiashan.
Tea is the national drink, and tea is Zen taste. "Tea" refers to tea culture in general, while "Zen" is a rough name for "Zen", which means "meditation" and "meditation". The term "one taste" refers to the similarities between tea culture and Zen culture. This commonality lies in the pursuit of the elevation of the spiritual realm. The so-called dust heart is washed away, and the turbidity of the world can be clear to me. Tea, taste life floating and sinking: Zen, enlightenment nirvana realm. The author extends here as an attitude of life, in today's anxious and impetuous society, the author advocates doing more subtraction in life, advocating fading the cumbersome and flashy of the world, being in the bamboo sea quiet and breezy, green bamboo with the wind, clear tea in the palm of the hand leisurely, the author said: "Quiet bamboo sea swimming alone, Zen tea a cup of heart what is sad", the heart is pure and worry-free, Zen nature is pure, what troubles there are?
The small streams in the bamboo sea are babbling, the stones are covered with green moss, the birds fly freely in the bamboo forest and the creek, and enjoy themselves; the stream trickles, the green bamboo and bamboo sway with the wind, the breeze and the moon and the bamboo shadow, the older the time, the lighter the people's hearts, sitting alone, holding a cup of tea, the bamboo sea waves, the heart leaves the afterscent, quietly guarding a window of green bamboo, years, picking, the deep bamboo of time, the loneliness and joy of this road, banished to the flow of September. Let those past thoughts stretch under the blue sky and white clouds, flow, air dry, scatter with the wind to the end of the world, a cup of clear tea, the heart is pure and worry-free, Zen tea is a taste, the heart is pure and wonderful.
Tea Zen taste, tea bamboo unity. Bai Juyi's "Book of Raising Bamboo" praises "bamboo like a sage": "Bamboo is solid, solid with tree virtue; when a gentleman sees his roots, he thinks of the good and does not pull up." The bamboo nature is straight, straight to stand up; when a gentleman sees his nature, he thinks of the neutral and undependent. The bamboo heart is empty, and the emptiness is the tao; when a gentleman sees his heart, he thinks of applying the void receiver. The bamboo knot is chaste, and the virtuous is determined; when a gentleman sees his festival, he thinks of the famous deeds and is consistent with the dangers. If the husband is like this, the gentleman has many trees, and he is a court of truth. Su Shi also praised: "Bamboo shoots for eaters, bamboo tiles for residents, bamboo rafts for carriers, bamboo salaries for cookers, bamboo skins for clothers, bamboo paper for books, bamboo shoes for walkers, it is really impossible to go without this junye for a day." "Green and green bamboo, all are Dharma bodies." In the sea of bamboo, tea is drinking, Zen is in ginseng, zen is like tasting tea, tea tasting can be ginseng Zen, "tea Zen taste" is pinned on a kind of quaint, quiet and natural attitude and aesthetic taste. This kind of life taste and aesthetic ideal, Zen people usually pay attention to "tea Zen taste", or smile at the flowers, feel the true meaning of Zen; or drink tea to wash the heart, clean up the dirt of the world. This is a way of life and an aesthetic taste of Zen monks and literati rioters, and the habit of tea Zen should be extended to the daily life of the market economy, to scorch and nourish the body and mind, and should become a social trend today.
The bamboo sea is beautiful and green. Surrounded by smoke and fog, nothingness, the moment is fascinating, and all thoughts are empty. Life is a drama, not to enter the drama too deeply, it is precisely because everything here is permeated with Zen, everything is full of Buddha-nature; bamboo sea elegant rhyme is refreshing, the sun and moon are bright, the landscape is long, the beautiful scenery in the world, the world is all kinds of things, the original impermanence; the glitz is just a smoke cloud, the gathering and dispersion is just a thought; the gain and loss is only a fleeting moment, a flick of a finger, and it is only a momentary fragrance. Red dust all the way, only wish to be like a lotus, not for whom to open, not for whom to fall, let the world fall into the wind and dust, guard their own inch of time, in the clouds and mountains and ink, low eyebrows, walking, bamboo-like through the red dust, get the breeze from itself. Tang Dynasty Qian Qi and Zhao Ying drink tea, composed a poem "Tea Feast with Zhao Cao", Takeshita forgot to speak to purple tea, Quansheng Yuke drunk Liuxia, dust heart washed exhausted, a tree cicada sound film shadow oblique, this poem is all written with Zhao Ju tea feast music, Bamboo tea tasting drunkenness on forgetting words, cicada sound tree shadow washed away the dust heart. Tang Ren Mu Rong "You Bao'en Temple" poetry cloud, the mountain house lonely door open, this day to meet the friends of the community. Yaxing looks for foreign music, new poetry contends for envy in the middle of the talent, tea smoke and cage Zen bed, bamboo shadow Xiao Xiao sweeps the path moss, drunk does not know the bright moon, crazy song until late at night, this poem describes the various pleasures of monastic activities, tea drinking, singing and poetry, singing and singing, drunken singing, bright moon bamboo shadow, community friends Yaxing does not think about home. Tea smoke envelops the Zen bed, bamboo shadow Xiao Xiao sweeps the path moss This is a kind of tea Zen realm pursued by the Tang people.
Tea and bamboo in one, bamboo Zen eight scenery. With bamboo, it gathers humanistic character and ecological civilization, inherits the millennium context of "Xiaoxiang Eight Views", leads the supreme wisdom of "Tea Zen Yiwei", adheres to creative transformation and innovative development, and refines the "Eight Views of Bamboo Zen" ("Bamboo Sea Wu Zen", "Bamboo Wind Mu Zen", "Bamboo Shadow See Zen", "Bamboo Jian Pin Zen", "Bamboo Yun Yin Zen", "Bamboo Forest Hong zen", "Bamboo Smoke Ginseng Zen", "Bamboo Path Ask Zen") Zen brand. Let bamboo Zen + poetry, bamboo Zen + calligraphy and painting, bamboo Zen + design, bamboo Zen + food, bamboo Zen + health, bamboo Zen + Zen creation, bamboo Zen into the fabric of human life, bamboo Zen into all fields of Chinese social life. The earthly world is bustling, the bamboo forest is quiet, listen to a Sanskrit sound, have a Zen heart, drink a cup of Zen tea, the world is simple and quiet, the years are quiet, and the heavens and the earth are not comfortable!
