I am from Shenyang, Liaoning Province, doing Zen tea business, and have my own Zen tea studio.
One day at a party, a friend (Asahi Tsai) was wearing a plaster cast on his right hand. At the end of the banquet, Xu Zai said, "Sister Yu, I want to chat with you." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > the taste of life, right in the tea</h1>
I said, "Okay! Go to my tea room! ”
When we got to the tea room, he told me a lot about him and his wife.
Angry, he punched himself in the wall, breaking his hand. The wife also returned to her mother's house, and the marriage was also to the point of divorce.
I listened to him quietly and felt the entanglement in his heart.
I said, "I'll make you a cup of tea for you to taste!" ”
I took out an ancient tree Pu'er tea, the first brew of tea, the second brew poured a cup for him. After drinking and asking him what the taste was, he said "bitter".
The third bubble gave him a drink and asked him what it tasted like, and he said "more bitter".
After the fourth bubble was poured, I said, you pay attention to its aroma and throat rhyme. He savored it carefully, sensing the transformation of tea between his mouth and throat.
"Although the entrance is bitter, the aftertaste is sweet, fresh and fast, and the aroma between the throats is overflowing."
"Why didn't you just come out?"
"Maybe I drank too fast, plus I was in a bad mood!"
"In fact, many times we don't taste carefully and ignore a lot of what already exists. Is that right? ”
"Yes! Yu Sister, are you trying to tell me that I ignored some of her good? ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="59" > between a thought, hell and heaven</h1>
I poured him a fifth cup of tea, and he sipped it quietly, and I asked him what it tasted like.
"Fresh and fresh, full of aroma. It's just that the moment of entrance is a bit astringent. ”
"This tea tree grows on a rock in the deep mountains and has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain. In the spring we plucked her, withered, stir-fried, kneaded, dried, pressed, packed. We also have to brew it in boiling water to let her release her abundant nutrients. When she was tasting it, it was the most blooming moment of her life. ”
I said, "Don't you think that tea tasting is actually like tasting life?" Bitter in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste! Savor it, a thousand flavors! ”
He said: "It's really a bit of that meaning, in fact, it's not all bad, but when people are angry, they think that it's all bad." I don't remember the good ones, and now that I think about it, she is also good for me. It's just that the method is not very acceptable to me. ”
And then we were talking about every tea, I was talking about tea, he was talking about himself.
After drinking until the last twenty years, I asked him "what tastes"?
He said, "The taste is very light, maybe it's like life is flat at the end"!
"Every time I drink tea, I carry a grateful heart, she has experienced all kinds of difficulties, and finally released the fragrance for me and nourished us." Bring us nutrition. ”
"I get it! She grew up with her parents, cared for her with a thousand kinds of care, married into my family but became a housewife. For my own good, I don't give her a good talk, and I don't understand her. I have a group of friends in society, and I am the only one in her world. I should be grateful to her and be kind to her. Thank you Yu Jie! I get it! ”
I then asked, "How did you change when you first came in?" ”
"My mood changed, I was depressed and angry when I came in. Now I want to open it, and pick her up tomorrow. ”
"Actually, you are still the same you, a thought in your heart. Bring you from hell to heaven. ”
After this incident, I also concluded that all the questions are accompanied by answers! It's just that I'm willing to explore this answer.
When we come with questions, we try not to give answers in a didactic way.
Giving him a way to think about a problem is more special than giving the answer directly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > the most special night on my way to study Buddhism</h1>
In 2016, I listened to people
Recommended, learned about Donghua Zen, knew master Wanxing.
The karma is immature, and we have never been able to meet each other. It wasn't until two years later, in September, that I saw Master Wanxing.
Master's solemnity immediately captured my heart, and I knew that I would follow this great monk in this life when I studied Buddhism and carried forward the Dharma!
This time I had the privilege of attending the 7th Zen Cultural Exchange Meeting at Donghua Zen Temple, and on the last day, I participated in the Zen Walking Meditation, and I participated in the meditation trip that night with the mentality of finding out.
This was the most special night on my way to study Buddhism.
When we were incense, the master guided us to perceive the earth, and I felt the vibration of my feet on the earth.
When the meditation began, my mind was still scattered. Footsteps, breathing, thoughts do not know where to go. But when I heard the guiding voice "Amitabha Buddha", my heart inexplicably settled in the present moment, word by word.
With each step, the feet came into contact with the earth, trembling, and the aftermath rippled. The sound of insects chirping in the ears is the warm candlelight.
I became one with nature and felt the joy of the insects, the warmth of the candlelight.
The earth is constantly supplying life to all things!
With the sound of wooden fish, slowly move forward. The stone-paved road of bright lights, just like the road we want to attain, although the road is bumpy and bumpy, but there is always a bright light.
In front of the Three Holy Caves, the guzheng enters the heart. The sound of Sanskrit in the cave is full of sounds, refreshing people's hearts. The sound of magic instruments is gripping. The heart sutra is accompanied by the sound of Buddha, and it makes people quiet and peaceful. A mage holds a candlelight with his hand to illuminate the path under our feet.
There is a constant flow of gratitude within me, and it fills every cell of my body.
The sound of the whistle is clear and calming in the quiet of the night. The starry sky seems to be paved with gems, and the insects are as happy as ever!
Looking for the sound of the whistle, I stepped into the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. The two people dancing with Xiao Sheng were like heavenly immortals.
Is this the scenery on the path of practice?
Enter the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, see Zen in Painting, and feel the breath of the painter's life and nature.
Come to the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva and light a prayer lamp.
This night is destined to be extraordinary! This meditation journey is in my heart! Touched in my heart!
I am thankful to be able to meet the Master in this life to show the way! Be with everyone on the road of gratitude practice!
