Chapter 114: Tea Tasting and Zen

Houli didn't understand.

Xiao Shen Xuan also didn't understand.

Only Lu Yu knows how much weight these four words he wrote!

Positive, pure, harmonious, elegant!

Four words.

It is the cultural essence summarized by the people who have participated in Zen and asked tea in the world for thousands of years!

If these four words can't make Leifeng Temple open the temple gate.

If these four words can't solve the confusion of Zen Master Xuanbei and tea.

Then Lu Yu could only sigh that he really had no chance with tea......

So now he is indifferent.

There is still some time before "White Dew".

The grass hut here is simple.

But the curtain is full of birds.

But it's not interesting.

The road of the tea man must be thorny and rugged.

If you don't blend in with the joy of nature.

How can you ask for a gift from nature?

……

See Lu Yu like this.

Hou Li had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Xiao Shen Xuan didn't have any complaints.

Vaguely.

They have become accustomed to trusting Lu Yu.

……

Washing rice, lighting a fire, cooking.

Fetch water, make tea, and gossip.

The sun and the moon change, coming and going.

In the blink of an eye, it was another three days.

……

Early in the morning of the third day.

Lu Yu had just eaten morning and evening.

I was about to make a cup of tea.

The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded again in Leifeng Temple.

Zen Master Xuanbei is dressed in a robe.

It is as if you were greeting the most distinguished guests.

Lead the monks to the outside of the grass hut.

"Amitabha, Lu Jushi is invited. ”

Meanwhile!

The same sound of footsteps sounded on the path below.

Turn your head to look.

It was the Xuanku of Shengquan Temple who led the monks of Shengquan Temple to the top of the mountain!

Presumably, the two temples have already communicated with each other.

After comprehending the four words of Lu Yu, they met and came to the grass hut.

……

Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled: "The two hosts came just in time, have a cup of tea together?"

Xuan Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lu Jushi forgive me, the old man came to ask the monk to exonerate, and he has no intention of tasting tea for a long time." ”

The same is true of Xuan Ku and the rest of the monks.

Looking at Lu Yu's eyes, he was already full of hope.

Lu Yu laughed when he heard this: "The Zen master is also fascinated!"

"Eat tea when you meet tea, eat when you eat food!" It is for the heart of normalcy and the true meaning of cultivation!"

Eat tea when you meet tea......

Xuan Bei was suddenly shocked!

Xuan Ku is also a folded hand and chanting the Buddha's name.

I saw Lu Yu talking and laughing freely, sitting on the stone bench.

The two hosts glanced at each other.

They sat down one after another.

The rest of the monks stood around and bowed down to listen.

Lu Yu didn't say much more.

After taking a sip of tea.

He looked at the four words that had already unfolded.

"Righteousness is righteousness. ”

This is what the Buddha called the Noble Eightfold Path. ”

"Practitioners should keep the precepts, wisdom, and concentration, and experience the various states of the world. ”

This Noble Eightfold Path is the foundation of one's own actions. ”

It is also the foundation of Zen tea. ”

Xuan Bei thought it was true when he heard this.

"The Noble Eightfold Path as Lu Jushi ......"

Lu Yu nodded and smiled.

"The Noble Eightfold Path is right view, right thinking, right speech, right karma, right diligence, right life, right thought, right determination. ”

"If this is true for meditators, so should it be for tea, and so should tea people. ”

This is the root of Zen tea. ”

Seeing Xuan Bei, Xuan Ku and the surrounding monks, they nodded suddenly.

Lu Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you have already understood this Eightfold Path. ”

In this case, Lu Yu will not repeat them one by one. ”

The Noble Eightfold Path, each of which is a great truth.

If you talk about it in detail, it will be verbose.

Lu Yu was reluctant to go into a tirade.

And Xuan Bei and other monks are also people with clear hearts.

A few words are enough.

As for Hou Li and Xiao Shen Xuan, if they don't understand.

Lu Yu had time to explain to them.

As soon as this remark came out.

Xuan Bei and the other monks nodded happily, and they already understood it.

Lu Yu continued: "The orthography has been solved, and that is the clear character. ”

"To be pure is to be pure. ”

"No defilement, no greed, no infatuation, no resentment, no bondage. ”

"Ethereal and free, clear and clear, mellow and undwelling, it is pure and wonderful. ”

"Zen heart is like this, tea is like this. ”

"If you don't have a pure mind when you taste tea, you can't go from 'quiet' to 'pure', you're just drinking water. ”

"In the same way, there is no tranquility in meditation. ”

"You can't get away from the confusion of troubles. ”

"It can't be pure. ”

"We cannot stop the sinking of darkness. ”

"And how do you get on the Bodhi Escape?"

"Pure heart, Zen tea is connected, it is one. ”

I see!

Xuan sorrow, Xuan bitterness at the same time, the eyes suddenly brightened!

Some of the monks behind them nodded slightly.

Others are lost in thought.

Obviously, there are still some gaps in the practice of Zen enlightenment.

Lu Yu didn't care about this.

He preached, and how much everyone understood depended on chance.

If there is no wisdom, even if it is dark, it is in vain.

Of course, more importantly.

That's what he said.

It was originally a summary of the essence of the people who participated in Zen and asked for tea in the original world for thousands of years.

If it is extended.

I'm afraid it's hard to elaborate on tens of thousands of words.

Ponder for a moment.

Lu Yu looked at the third word again.

Xu said: "And." ”

Speaking of the word "and".

Xuan Sorrow and Xuan Ku gathered their spirits at the time.

In the previous three days, both of them had some feelings about "positive" and "clear".

The real threshold is in "and".

Lu Yu said: "Harmony, it is six harmony respect." ”

"Liuhe respects ......" Xuan Bei muttered thoughtfully.

Lu Yu nodded and said, "The first harmony, the body and the same residence." ”

"No matter how you taste tea, you must be quiet. ”

"Those who are in tea tolerate each other, and those who talk about the Tao also have the same end. ”

"This is the body and the dwelling. ”

Pause for a moment.

Lu Yu continued: "The second harmony, the mouth and the non-reluctance. ”

That is, the language industry is quiet. ”

"No lies, no double-tongues, no foul-mouthedness, no gossip. ”

"Say the language of love, the language of softness, the right language, the true language, the real language. ”

"Tea tasting and Zen meditation should be the same. ”

……

"The third harmony is the same joy as the meaning and the same joy. ”

"Tasting tea and participating in Zen, you must be quiet. ”

"The great will, the long-term will, the joy, the grace, the great will, the pure goodness. ”

"It's the way of harmony. ”

……

"The fourth harmony, the precepts and the initiates. ”

"Precepts are the foundation of the supreme bodhi, and they are also the foundation of the two learnings of concentration and wisdom. ”

"There are no rules. ”

"Tea has tea rules. ”

"Zen also has Zen precepts. ”

"If you want to enter Zen with tea, don't slack off with the precepts!"

……

"Fifth, see and understand. ”

"The original meaning of the Buddha is that the whole world is tolerant, and it is the right view. ”

"Only by accommodating all the Buddha's words is the supreme path of Zen. ”

"The same is true for tea, and even more so for tea people. ”

"Zen practitioners taste tea, aiming to break through confusion and become enlightened. ”

"Those who taste tea participate in Zen, which means to be free from suffering and happy. ”

"Communicate with each other, get what it really is. ”

……

"The sixth harmony is the same as the benefit. ”

"The Buddha has the meaning of universalizing all sentient beings. ”

"Tea also has the joy of sharing. ”

"Visiting the Buddha alone is not the intention of the Buddha. ”

"Taste tea alone, just for the sake of being alone. ”

"Only Pudu, only sharing, can get the real fun. ”

……

Lu Yu spoke eloquently, and the words were scorching.

Xuan sorrow, Xuan bitterness or deep brows, or the mouth is suddenly opened.

Or fall into deep thought, or laugh heartily.

Until noon.

Xuan Beicai finally suddenly exclaimed: "Lu Jushi's Zen enlightenment is only seen in the life of the old man. ”

"It's ridiculous that the old man tried to test the Zen heart of the layman with the secret path in the temple......"

"Today, we know that the perception of laymen far exceeds that of countless elders. ”

"Ashamed! ashamed!"
