Selfless Tea
Tea trees have no special requirements for the growing place. No matter the soil is fertile or barren, even in the rubble piles on the barren hills, they can survive and grow. There are no special requirements for the climate, whether it is hot or cold, and they can absorb as much as they want. The essence of heaven and earth, year after year, is evergreen in all seasons, both greening the environment and purifying the air.
It asks very little, pays a lot, Ye'er picks it and sends it, and it goes back and forth until the end of life. From picking to making drinks, tea has been tortured, but it is fresh and delicious and selflessly dedicated to the human world.
Solitary tea
The tea tree not only avoids wind, frost, rain and snow, but also does not compete with flowers in spring, or with chrysanthemum and osmanthus in autumn.
According to legend, more than 2,000 years ago, the Zen master Wu Lizhen of Ganlu Temple "carried the seed of Lingming" and planted seven tea trees on the highest peak among the five peaks of Mengding Mountain in Sichuan. It is "high, not surplus, immortal, and very unusual". It is hailed as "the fairy tea" by later generations, and it still exists today.
The ancients said that tea is thrifty. If the "thrifty" characteristic contained in tea is used as a metaphor for the principle of self-cultivation, it is to pursue a simple life, indifferent like tea, and pure heart like a Buddha.
Stick and quiet tea
Taoist classics say that specializing in the accumulation of spirits is not mixed with things, which is called pure; anti-shen is submissive, and calm is called tranquility. Taoists believe that in order to be quiet, one must "see nothing for the eyes, hear nothing for the ears, and know nothing for the heart".
In the process of growth, the tea tree is calm and calm, conforming to the four o'clock, silently and without contending with the world; the introverted and not flashy nature of the tea, and the tea leaves quietly floating in the pot, and without cheering and appreciating eyes. Down, quietly blooming, self-releasing, hasn't it reached a very high state of tranquility?
When the drinker is sipping tea leisurely, and after concentrating his whole body and mind into the world of tea, he will feel like he has entered a peaceful and vast universe, feeling extremely comfortable and refreshing. As the saying goes, "If you want to reach the Profound Realm of the Tea Ceremony, there is no magic method except for the static word."
Humble and generous tea
Tea grows in the spirit of nature, and internalizes the brilliance of the sun and the moon that it absorbs into rich beneficial ingredients. After encountering water, they give themselves up to drink tea, so that the majority of drinkers not only quench their thirst, but also gain Nourishment, its elegant fragrance is refreshing, it can be described as immense merit.
But it is accustomed to being low-key, unassuming, and has no idea of getting praise from drinkers at all. As the saying goes, "If you don't seek retribution, you are not famous"!
Even if the drinker slanderously slander, he still keeps the attitude of "I am still me" and keeps silent; despite the many tortures such as steaming, frying, squeezing and kneading, he never cries pain or complains about grievances.
Human beings should be inspired by tea, and everyone should strive to be humble, connotative, and capable.
Respectful and beautiful tea
Harmony means harmony and respect. Tea presents its deliciousness to drinkers through disfigurement, without complaint or regret, which shows that its mentality is extremely peaceful and awe-inspiring.
When we look at the changing scenes of tea leaves in boiling water through a glass teacup, it is like watching a live landscape painting. It is a beautiful enjoyment and will inexplicably produce a sense of drunk before drinking. You originally had a depressed mood, but now it will become invisible and happy.
In the tea room, drinkers of all classes are not distinguished, they are all equal. The guest and the host talk about each other and respect each other. Everyone surrenders their hearts to tea. People and tea blend together, tea and me are the same.
Of course, in addition to thirst, drinking tea can also cultivate sentiment. It is said that "a gentleman's friendship is as light as water", but the tea is as clear as dew, but it is mellow and sweet, and the lips and teeth leave fragrance after tasting. If your friends are awkward, you can sit down together and drink a pot of tea quietly. Gradually, everyone's excitement will calm down, and your heart will open with the fragrance of tea.
