Lin Qingxuan's Tea Ceremony and Life Thought
Life is like tea, it only tastes when it rises and falls.
Lin Qingxuan said? The taste of tea and the taste of life are actually the same taste. If you break through at a certain point and understand it thoroughly, you can see everything thoroughly and understand it. ?
? Actually, tea is very similar to life, right? , Lin Qingxuan sighed,? Tea must be boiled in hot water to taste, and life is the same. You will be prosperous all your life, and the taste will not come out. You must rise and fall, and then you will wake up like Wan Li, and the smell will come out. The whole process is very important, and you can't miss a link. At this time, the quality of tea itself is not very important, and so is life. ?
Choosing friends is like choosing tea. Does it taste good？
If 100 yuan can buy a catty of tea, 100 yuan can buy one or two teas, Lin Qingxuan said? People who know how to drink tea should buy one or two, because that is definitely more precious and rare. They prefer to drink a little tea and emphasize the taste of tea. ?
In Lin Qingxuan's view, this truth is actually the same as people's standard of making friends. It's like making a friend, but communicating with your heart, instead of making a hundred friends, is as tasteless as boiled water. From these different angles, in fact, learning in tea is really like life. ?
Tea with ideas in life is good tea.
High-priced tea is not necessarily good tea, Lin Qingxuan thinks. We like tea because it is fragrant and pure. Tea is different from water. Tea is not used to quench thirst. Drinking water will quench your thirst. But when drinking tea, you must communicate with a few friends and have topics and ideas. This tea is very good. So the quality of tea comes from the environment, not the tea itself. ?
It's romantic to waste time drinking tea slowly.
? No matter what kind of tea you drink, you can enter the road of life from there and see the beautiful part. After enlightenment, you will enter a higher realm more easily. And drinking tea can just make people have a heart to face life calmly. ?
Lin Qingxuan thinks that the busy life of urbanites makes them lose a lot. Busy will lose many things, romantic feelings, ideal dreams, creativity and imagination. People often say what romance is. In fact, romance is very simple, that is, wasting time walking slowly, eating slowly and drinking tea slowly. ?
At the same time, Lin Qingxuan also refuted the statement that wasting time drinking tea is equal to not working hard. You can watch the sunset while struggling, walk along the lotus pond while working, work hard on Monday and Friday, and have tea with your good friends on Saturday, all of which are good and there is no conflict. ?
Tea can produce goodness.
Tea exists in the world for friendship; The best tea exists in the world for people who know the taste; We are looking for tea everywhere, aren't we eager to drink it with people who know the taste?
When I miss my friends who have inspired me, encouraged me and comforted me in my life, it's like suddenly hearing the bell from a distant temple on a remote road in the forest, or hearing the sound of pine nuts falling in an empty mountain, I'm suddenly shocked. Not pine nuts, nor love, but from deep acacia.
Drink tea to wash your heart.
Everyday life is like a cup of tea. Most people's tea and tea sets are very similar. However, people who are good at soaking taste better, and people who are good at drinking get more delicate news. What life needs to prepare is not expensive tea, but the mood of drinking tea.
When life is bitter, you should add a little cool chrysanthemum, and when you are excited, you should add a little inner Pu 'er. There is still a heart flying upward in suffering, and a keen and profound attitude is not lost in joy. In this way, the tea of life can be more mellow and fragrant.
In a cool way.
Zen naturally exists, but it is not written on the wall or painted on the teacup. Like tea, life is tea. Everything in life is Zen, nothing is Zen.
Tea is not Zen, and Zen is not tea. Tea or Zen, and everything in life, annoyed Hua Song into a wisp of light smoke and flew to an empty place, that is, tea and Zen are blind.
The true taste of tea and the true realm of Zen can only be known by a normal mind.
I like Lin Qingxuan's writing. I like his quiet and indifferent drinking tea and enjoying life. Drinking tea requires a state where you can calm down, hold a cup of tea and watch the ups and downs of tea, just like life.
Lin Qingxuan's Tea Ceremony Thought
Tea is not? Drink medicine? Health maintenance
Lin Qingxuan began to study tea art and tea ceremony in his twenties, and he has been fascinated for more than 30 years.
In his view, drinking tea is to create a living space for yourself.
Lin Qingxuan said with a smile, what do people want after drinking too much tea? Technology? On the contrary, it lost the cultural connotation contained in the original tea. Some people think that drinking tea is health preservation, and they attach great importance to drinking tea. Drink medicine? The same. Absolutely. But in fact, the help of drinking tea to body and mind is relative, not absolute. ? Once, Lin Qingxuan went to see a friend. He was a Pu 'er tea collector and drank the best tea, but he died before he was sixty. His children asked me,? Teacher Lin, shouldn't drinking tea keep you healthy? Why did dad die so early? I smiled and said,? Maybe I was only fifty years old, but I was sixty years old because of drinking tea. ? Although it was a joke, I was also inspired by it. Don't take tea too seriously, but keep a relaxed attitude to taste life. ?
The realm lies in the unity of heaven and man.
For Lin Qingxuan? Tea? What does that mean? Harmony between man and the world? ,? Tea? When the word is opened, it means that people are among plants. This is the highest level of drinking tea. Harmony between man and nature? This is also the state I have been pursuing. ?
Lin Qingxuan gradually realized, in fact, the most important thing is always? People? Instead of? Tea? . ? More and more, I feel that technology is not that important. Once in Tomb-Sweeping Day, I met an old gentleman in the mountains of Hangzhou. When he saw me walking alone, he invited me to tea. This cup of Longjing is the best Longjing I have ever drunk in my life, because the old gentleman grows tea himself. Many of the examples I encountered were slowly corrected by myself. Actually, sometimes? Tea? Ten yuan of tea is not that important, because the person who drinks it is a bosom friend. Do you like it? The best tea? . ?
In Lin Qingxuan's view? Tea? There are more than external things? Tea? This is very important in itself. He recalled an experience he had in Wuyishan. I passed a temple at the foot of the mountain, and the master was distributing tea to separate the young buds from the old leaves. I asked the master why he wanted to divide the tea, and the master said,? Well, leave it to the lay people who live in the temple and the old people drink it themselves? I was touched at once. What is this act of picking tea? Leave the beauty of life to others and the bitterness to yourself. ? Behind the tea is a pure heart. ?
? Tea ceremony? No boundaries
? Cultivate children to drink tea and love tea from an early age? It is a wish of Lin Qingxuan, who is also promoting the tea ceremony wholeheartedly.
Compared with the prevalence of Japanese tea ceremony, China people who started tea culture here seem to be somewhat different? Backward? . In this regard, Lin Qingxuan bluntly said: There is such a sentence? Close to the temple to bully God? I don't think it's good to be close. Everyone in China lives in the tea ceremony, so I may be getting numb to this feeling. The Japanese introduced tea from China, making the distance beautiful and the space yearning. Their tea ceremony completely inherited the way of drinking tea in Tang Dynasty in China, and they were used to drinking matcha. On the other hand, China once triggered the tea ceremony because Ming Taizu set the price of tea as high as gold? Fracture? However, due to the introduction, Japanese tea ceremony in Tang Dynasty in China was completely preserved. ? He suggested that people who love tea might as well change their minds. Go to Japan? Learn from the scriptures? Because? Tea? What's the point? Harmony? Besides, culture knows no borders. ?
Understanding of tea ceremony life
Tea has four flavors.
? Gas? Refers to the smell left between the five internal organs and the tongue after drinking tea.
