It's Better to Have Tea

This book is like a friend who understands me, describing a Zen life in elegant words. The tea ceremony mentioned in the book reminds me of the hardships of starting my own business, just like the process of tea leaves stretching in water. In a busy life, it is so rare to read such a calming book. I like the outlook on life and life wisdom conveyed in the book, and recommend it to you. I hope you can also taste the tranquility and comfort from the book.

I used to only drink coffee, not tea. After reading this book, I dug out a box of tea from somewhere and brewed a pot. Watching the thin tea needles spinning and stretching in the white water, I felt particularly calm. In fact, I really didn't understand tea before. I remember one time when I went to a friend's place, she actually started to study Kung Fu tea. At that time, I just felt that drinking one cup at a time was really tedious. Now that I think about it, I was only thinking about making money and lived a life too urgently. If you are too anxious, you will get lost in the pursuit of material desires, be controlled by money, and lose the original meaning of life. People will be completely controlled by the rhythm, instead of trying to control the rhythm of their own lives. How can I gain something? Therefore, even if you are forced by life, you still need to give yourself a little time to breathe. Slow down, even if it is only for an hour, think about the path you have taken, then look at the road under your feet, collect your thoughts, and start again. It took me more than a month from the time I opened this book to the time I finished reading it. I can't completely remember what I read. I only vaguely remember the way to explore and a cup of tea. Of course, the most profound experience is the Zen flavor in tea. Eat well now, get a good sleep, and enjoy the present moment, this is the ultimate state of Zen. However, most people can't even do this.

Experience the world of tea! [Like] From the history of tea to the flavors of different production areas, the explanation is vivid and easy to understand. After reading this book, I not only gained a lot of knowledge about tea, but also understood the philosophy of life hidden in tea. Following the text, I experienced the customs and customs of different tea regions. It was as if I also drank the good tea in the book. It has a long aftertaste and is worth reading again and again.

Lin Xuanqing's prose is elegant and calm, sharing, researching, history, and insights about his love for tea. Tea is very interesting: ++, people are among the plants and trees. The combination of tea and Zen is called tea Zen. Tea and Zen are the same taste. There is a vast world in tea. Tea makes people calm, meditative, sober and real, happy and clear. Tea is so transparent, moist and crystal-clear that it allows people to gain a transparent mind similar to meditation, allowing people to transcend real life and have associations with the other side. Wine is passion, tea is calmness; wine makes you loose and outgoing, tea makes you restrained; wine makes you bold, tea makes you nostalgic and nostalgic. The realm of tea ceremony has developed to its highest peak, which is called "one session in a lifetime". This life is just for this meeting, and this time may very well be the last time. The happiness of life does not have to be ultimate, instantaneous, and complete. As long as you can taste a little happiness in one day, it is enough to endure this life whose essence is suffering. Romance is a waste of time drinking tea slowly. When you waste time walking slowly, waste time eating slowly, romance will naturally grow Good tea is important, but the mood, environment and friends when drinking tea seem to be more important than tea. Be willful and free-spirited, let go as you please, but with all your ordinary heart, there is no other solution. When a person moves from Tao to life, or from life to Tao, and makes life and Tao blend without conflict, he will be able to live a good life every day and grow lotuses step by step. Only those who live in the present can have nothing to do, live every moment fully, fully and without worries, lively, joyfully and wholeheartedly. A moment of nothing happens, a moment of peace, a day of nothing happens, a day of good. Tea and literature and art are connected together. A person who knows how to draw, know how to write poetry, knows how to write, knows how to drink tea, and knows how to live is all connected together. In the process of tasting tea, with good faith, you will always feel the beauty, warmth and realm of tea. The four highest realms of the tea ceremony are "harmony, respect and tranquility". "Harmony" means peace in the heart, "respect" means gratitude in the heart, "purity" means inner magnanimity, and "silence" means the calmness of worries. Knowing how to calm your mind, how to be in harmonious relationship with the world, and live freely and happily every day is the ultimate goal of the tea ceremony. A complex society arouses people's more complex desires. Complex desires disturb the simple heart, making us not know that being able to sit down and chat is the beauty of life, making us not know that walking home on the path at sunset is a necessary process in life, making us ignore that the warmth between people is more worth having than indifference. First, the highest realms of things are all connected. There is no difference between tea ceremony, kendo, and Zen in improving and refining the inner soul. The second is to overcome the fears and worries in the heart. The best way is to live in front of you with concentration and make the moment in front of you fulfilling. The third is the small experience of life and the big experience of life and death, which can only be penetrated by profound intuition. When a person enters the realm of selflessness and emptiness, he can not only live without worries, but also cross the sea of ​​life and death. If you experience it, you will know it immediately, and as soon as you think about it, you will be wrong. Be willful and free-spirited, let go as you please, but with all your ordinary heart, there is no other solution. "Living among hundreds of flowers, not a single leaf touching the body." That kind of life is the life we ​​yearn for. Living among hundreds of flowers means "sentiment", and not letting a leaf touch the body means "enlightenment". Under the general principle of pure nature, if a person has many attachments, he will have many constraints. The way to reduce the constraints is to dissolve the attachment - dissolve it in the perspective of view, dissolve it in practice, and dissolve it in practice. When you reach the point where you understand that there is no solution and no solution, your heart will be pure.

After reading Mr. Lin's prose, I feel a sense of physical and mental beauty! In particular, this book "Go and Eat Tea" not only makes people happy physically and mentally, but also absorbs the knowledge about the tea ceremony, tea types, the origin of tea names and tea cups, and the enlightenment gained while drinking tea is even more amazing!

The author describes various scenes in multiple dimensions, with a full sense of immersion, from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign countries, explaining the profound things in simple terms and very three-dimensionally; in fact, we have lived for a long time, especially when we are of a certain age, drinking tea is the best way to relax...
