The relationship between tea ceremony and Zen. Zen gives people a kind of enjoyment and taste of tea, and tea also contains infinite Zen flavor.
Throughout the ages, there are countless poems describing the Zen taste of tea. For example, Shao Ou, a Japanese Zen master, once quoted a poem to the effect that the autumn wind is rustling, the yellow flowers are withered, and the red leaves are hidden, as if it were back to the silence of the Yuan night. This late autumn scenery is like the taste of tea. Coincidentally, as a Japanese tea ceremony? Sponsor? Mori no Rikyū also quoted a poem to the effect that as long as you see the grass sprouting on the snowy mountain, you will feel that it is spring with birds and flowers in front of you. In the snowy mountain, the sun is shining, and suddenly from the place where the snow and ice melt, I found a little grass vitality and a little life information.
The strong will to life of a grass that first struggled out of the dead silence of winter is a touching Zen. Just like a dead tree singing in the wind, the meditation of Zen and the movement of enlightenment are organically combined, which is the real life, the life of Zen and the three flavors of tea.
The connection between Zen and tea began in ancient China. China's ancient tea was introduced into Japan through Korea, and became a kind of Japanese culture. Zen became a tea ceremony, which was originally a rule in Zen temples, that is, when someone visited the abbot of the temple or a benefactor visited the temple, tea was served as a gift. Are you online? Clear rules? In middle school, Master Baizhang made a series of detailed regulations on the rules and practices of drinking tea.
In the Five Dynasties, there was a Zen master in Jishan. When he was practicing under the monk's door, he served as the firewood manager and was responsible for the supply of firewood in the temple. One day, after chopping wood, the monk poured him a cup of tea to express his approval. While pouring tea, the monk said, everything is here. ? He talks about Zen with tea, which means that a cup of tea contains all kinds of things, so it is not a simple cup of tea, and it will be unlucky to drink it badly. The Zen master did his duty. Just as the Zen master's voice fell, he threw the tea bowl on the ground and asked the teacher: Where is the world? Zen front is very powerful. The Zen master said calmly:? This cup of tea is a pity. ? It means that a cup of hot tea is wasted, which means that he is not ready and has not really reached the realm.
To cherish a cup of tea is to cherish the Zen machine in life. Only? Murder knife? , no? A living sword? , can only show that he didn't realize the real zen.
In ancient times, people used tea bowls to participate in meditation, that is, from tea bowls and teapots to participate in solving crimes, such as? How to somersault in a tea bowl? Take the quintuple tower out of the teapot? Wait a minute. Some practitioners learn from it, while others don't. Ironically, some stubborn monks are participating? Do somersaults in a tea bowl? Case-solving, really tossed and turned on the ground; In the Senate? Take the quintuple tower out of the teapot? When solving the case, I built a small tower and put it in the teapot. To this end, many Zen masters in ancient times advocated that practitioners had better practice the tea ceremony well, personally observe the practices and procedures of tea ceremony taught by tea teachers, experience it while practicing, and unconsciously complete everything according to the original procedures. And then it's easy for you to understand? Do somersaults in a tea bowl? And then what? Take the quintuple tower out of the teapot? Solve a case (that is, learn about the world from a cup of tea).
In short, Zen and tea are the same taste, bitter and astringent, but they can refresh the mind, calm the spirit and get rid of troubles. As a tea drinker, understanding Zen poetry in the process of tea tasting is the best way to preserve one's health, as Morino said, first? Pull water to get paid? Boil water to make tea? And then what? For the Buddha and the people? And there are flowers and tea in the room, from which you can get Zen. In this process, enjoying flowers while drinking tea plays a very good role in relaxing the mind and stabilizing blood circulation. This is because the taste, vision and movement are fully mobilized in the process of tea cooking, which is of great significance in medicine and psychology.
During the Nara period in Japan, China Tea Ceremony was introduced to Japan. Monks in Jian Zhen introduced tea seeds and cultivation methods to Japan, and the way of drinking tea was also introduced to Japan. The method of drinking tea for health preservation is called in Japan? Rongxi? , is it? Tea ancestor? The meaning of. Tea ceremony is first and foremost a health care method. The Japanese believe that tea has two major functions: one is to detoxify and the other is to prolong life.
Modern psychological research holds that tea can relieve fatigue and lethargy psychologically and prevent physical and mental diseases; Tea tasting is a good way to pursue Zen artistic conception. The interpersonal relationship of tea ceremony advocated by Zen is called? A faint, faint smell? , is it? A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water? Meaning, pay attention to the quiet and indifferent relationship. Therefore, the tea ceremony is the concrete embodiment and display of the spiritual world of Zen.
The theory of tea ceremony is natural.
China tea ceremony emphasizes? Taoism is natural? Including material, behavior and spirit.
Materially, China Tea Ceremony holds that tea is the best wood in the south? . Is it a gift from nature? Really elegant? When planting, picking and making tea, we must conform to the laws of nature in order to produce good tea. In behavior, China Tea Ceremony pays attention to the beauty of nature, which is simple and unpretentious. When moving, it flows like a rock, quiet. Laugh like spring flowers, talk like mountain springs. Raise your hand and smile, all from nature, free your mind, and never be artificial. Spiritually, Taoism is natural, returning to nature, which is manifested in completely liberating one's sexual experience, making one's mind quiet, indifferent, lonely and inaction, making one's mind filled with the fragrance of tea, as if it were integrated with the universe and sublimated to? Without me? Field.
