Chapter 40: Opening the Topic with Tea and Talking about the Current Situation (Part I) (Page 1/1)

Strangers become familiar, not only through the first sense of perception, but also through deep, detailed, and detailed talk, only in this way can fundamentally change a person's most intuitive and simple impression of another person.

Wang Xuance and others have also traveled for a lot of time in this Wuchang country, and it is precisely because they heard that it is effective, so they put this rubbing of the Buddha's footprints and the observation of the Buddha's shadow cave to the final finale. However, in the face of this miraculous scene, although they also believed that it was the Buddha's wish, more and more profound Zen machines wanted to ask Master Yuanrong for advice......

At the age of Master Yuanrong, he has also experienced too many ups and downs, and in the face of everything in front of him, although he is very clear, but he is also powerless to return to the sky, after all, in the entire Tianzhu, this is the result of the environment, not something he can do alone. With the end of the view, he also wanted to know more about some issues of Tang Buddhism, so he sent this invitation to Wang Xuance: "Wang Changshi, this observation has been for so long, and it seems that everyone is also lacking a lot, why don't you go to the old monk's meditation hall to have a cup of tea and talk about it?" ”

Hearing Master Yuanrong's invitation, Wang Xuance was naturally quite pleased, so he led Zhou Chen and the others, under the guidance of Master Yuanrong, into the meditation hall behind the Buddha Shadow Temple.

I saw that this meditation hall was in a quiet courtyard, and the two old Bodhi trees in front of the door were not only luxuriant, but also shrouded the entire meditation hall in the shade; Of course, this meditation hall is also made of mountain stones. Master Yuanrong pushed open the thick wooden door and led them into the meditation hall, which was not too large, but it was enough to accommodate the four of them, plus the young novice who greeted them.

When you think about it, the meditation hall is also very simple, except for the square table and four futons in the center, plus some Bayeux Sutras scattered around the wall and a seated statue of the Buddha more than a foot high. Oh, by the way, there is also a set of tea drinking utensils in the middle of this table, but this tea drinking utensils are not as delicate as Datang, just ordinary clay pots, plus a charcoal stove, a strainer, and four tea cups.

Under the courtesy of Master Yuanrong, Wang Xuance led Zhou and Chen to sit down according to the number of etiquette, while the young novice stood beside Master Yuanrong. As Master Yuanrong skillfully began to brew tea, Wang Xuance silently looked at this simple tea set, and said to them: "Master's tea set is very simple, it seems to be specially produced by our local area over the years?" ”

"Wang Changshi has good eyesight, since a few years ago, the wind of drinking tea has your Tang Dynasty, introduced to my five India, many of our people here, also got better on this mouthful, this is when the old monk went down the mountain, saw that in this market, there is such a tea-drinking tool, and bought it back. Back then, I also heard Master Xuanzang talk about this brewed tea, so when I boiled such a pot of fragrant tea, I found that the taste was also very good."

Not long after, with the burning of the blazing charcoal fire, the tea soup has been cooked, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing, filling this small meditation hall. After it cooled a little, Master Yuanrong carefully passed the tea soup through the strainer and slowly poured it into the tea cup. Under the courtesy, Wang Xuance and the three of them also gently pinched the tea cup, sniffed on the tip of their noses, and suddenly the fragrance of tea overflowed, refreshing people's hearts......

"This tea is good, the taste is not inferior to our Datang tea, the aftertaste is very good, and the tongue is full of relish" Wang Xuance gently smacked the tea and replied.

"Although this way of drinking tea is simple, the tea brewed is indeed quite elegant and sweet" Chen Maocai also followed Wang Xuance's words, because he had always been very arrogant this week, and he didn't know much about drinking tea, so he couldn't say why, so he silently watched the three of them and tasted the tea gently.

"Wang Changshi has won the award, if your style of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty is more meticulous, our style of drinking tea is rude. Despite this, the two forms have their own advantages and disadvantages when you think about them carefully. Your Tang Dynasty's style of drinking tea is elegant and exquisite; And our style of drinking tea is just simple, trouble-free, and labor-saving; Although the result is the same, it is indeed much worse than your self-cultivation. Master Yuanrong followed their words and said the difference between these two styles of tea drinking.

In fact, Wang Xuance also understands that in this sentence, this strong Zen principle is explained: the result is the same, but the process is different. If the pursuit process is like the Tang Dynasty's method of drinking tea; If you want to pursue results, you can just drink tea like Master Yuanrong, which is both simple and straightforward......

So, this Wang Xuance also smiled at this Yuanrong mage's words: "The way is the same, but the result is different, it seems that the mage is also a person who pursues results." ”

"Alas, Wang Changshi, this is not true. It depends on what it is, everything is not static, it's just that in this matter, the old monk is inclined to this simple process, and the result is not bad" Master Yuanrong said to them with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

In a word, everyone laughed. This smile is not only an understanding of cognition, but also a choice of different ways.

As the topic began, Wang Xuance then expressed his doubts: "Master, since Xuan Ce entered our Buddha Shadow Temple, he suddenly found that the biggest difference between our temple and other Buddhist temples is that this Buddha statue is carved from stone, and it does not have this tall and mighty state; Unlike other temples, the Buddha statue is towering and wrapped in this golden body, why is that? ”

"Yes, this question has also been reflected in my heart for a long time, I have waited since I entered the five Tianzhu, our Buddha Shadow Temple is the only special case I have seen so far" Chen Maocai followed Wang Xuance's words, and also expressed the doubts in his heart. And Zhou Zeng still nodded, casting the same questioning glance at Master Yuanrong as they did.

Hearing this, the Harmony Mage laughed. And the young novice standing beside him also smiled slightly. Looking at such a scene, Wang Xuance and the others once again fell into a bewildering mystery, and couldn't help blurting out: "Master, why are you laughing? ”

"The original intention of Buddhism is to teach people to abandon evil and promote good, and to purify the source. Life is the time of these decades, and the Buddha is the guiding light to lead these people out of this kind of trouble, from this kind of worldly harassment, and at the same time to make due contributions to the country and the people. I saw that Master Yuanrong glanced at them, and then said......
