of course, we can trace back to the "Tang Zen" theory to the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the "Zen tea" was the early manifestation of "Zen tea". "Five Lantern Festival", 4, Zhaozhou, from the Zen master's note, "teacher asked Xin:" have you ever been here? Said: 'once to'. The teacher said, 'take tea to'. Also asked the monk, the monk said, 'never arrived'. The teacher said, 'take tea to'. The owner of the backyard asked, "why did he go to the same cloud to eat tea, and did not go to the clouds to eat tea?" The master called the master of the teacher. The teacher said, 'take tea to'. The answer to the three different people's "eat tea" is a reflection of the tacit understanding between the teachings and the Zen. It is meant to eliminate the delusions of learning, that is, "Buddha Dharma but usual, not a strange idea," whether they come or not, or do not know each other, as long as it is sincere and sincere to "eat tea" with the ordinary heart. It can enter the realm of "tea Zen" and "tea Zen". In the eighth volume of the book of quotations of the Chan Fu Buddha, Zen master Kwan Kok Qin, a Buddhist monk, said, "when we encounter tea, we eat tea and eat with rice." "I don't know how to eat dinner." Tea and tea do not know the tea. This is the relationship between the Zen master and the Zen. The literature that can be found is consistent with Zen Buddhism, which is "common heart", "hungry to eat, and sleepy to sleep". But the idea of "Zen tea" is more effective. Taking Zen tea as the medium, Chinese Zen tea is used as a medium for Zen.
the "tea Zen", which was widely admired in the Japanese tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism, had not been thought of by the Zen master himself. The Zen tea became a bridge between the master of Zen Buddhism and the mutual understanding and infiltration of the national culture. Indeed, tea and tea ceremony, indeed, can be regarded as a way to comprehend life, with "peace and quiet", and "quiet" as a way to achieve the heart of the heart, to eliminate the mystery and the taste of the tea, from the common experience of life, the mystery of the universe, and the philosophy of life. From the physical and mental relaxation of tea drinking, we realize that human suffering is, in the final analysis, "unable to put it down".
the contemporary Berlin Temple abbot, the forty-fifth generation of Lin Ji zzon, the "six degrees of tea", "tea Zen", the "tea zen taste" of the samadhi: "when the water to sacrifice, and become a tea, is for the cloth; the tea, like incense, is for the precepts; forbearance steamed ferment and kneading, is for the humiliation; in addition laziness, waking, waking up, waking up, waking up laziness, waking up, waking up, waking up It is for the sake of refinement, and for the sake of silence, that tea is the same for meditation, for the convenience of law, and for the wisdom of countless people. In short, with the Enlightenment of Zen, the fusion of tea elegance dispel the mystery of all creatures. Zen is Zen, tea is tea, Qing is clear, turbidity is turbid, elegance is elegant, vulgar is vulgar. In the first awakening, tea is Zen, Zen is tea, clear and turbid, turbid and clear, refined and vulgar, vulgar and refined. Zen master summed up Zen tea as "positive, clear, harmonious and elegant". The function of Zen tea culture is "gratitude, tolerance, sharing and affinity". Dissolve the righteous spirit into gratitude, dissolve the Qi into the inclusiveness, dissolve the harmony into the sharing, and dissolve the elegance into the connection.
