　　第一次听《慈修禅歌》，就已经深深为之着迷。如天籁之音，把祝福送到了内心深处最柔软的那个地方，整个人迅速安静下来，不知不觉笑意漾满每个细胞。
The first time I listened to the “song of compassion cultivation”, I was deeply attracted by it and fell in love with it. Like the song from heaven, it sent blessings to the softest part of my heart. I was quieted down immediately. The joy spread to every cell of my body.

　　中级讲习班的一个重要课程就是听禅歌泡慈心茶。慈心茶，顾名思义，就是用慈悲心泡茶，那么何为慈悲呢？慈是予乐，悲是拔苦，要用慈爱众生、悲悯众生之心去泡茶。
One of the essential parts of the advance Chan Tea class is to make the “tea of kindness and compassion” while listening to the “song of compassion cultivation”. As the name suggests, to make it, we need to brew the tea with kindness and compassion. Kindness could bring the happiness to us and compassion could relieve us from suffering. With them, we make our tea.

　　泡慈心茶，先把祝福送给自己，让自己慈悲欢喜，再把祝福送给壶、杯等法器，再延伸到送给同学朋友和尽虚空遍法界一切众生。以初级班的耳根禅为基础，慢慢锻炼我们的意根，并让慈悲成为习惯。
To make this tea, we first send blessings to ourselves. Let kindness and compassion fill our body and mind. Next, we send blessings to tea cups, pots, tools, etc. After that, we extend our blessings to friends, classmates, as well as all living beings in all directions and spaces. The practice of making “tea of kindness and compassion” is based on the Chan meditation by means of the organ of hearing. In addition, it cultivates our mind and makes kindness and compassion a habit.

　　伴随着舒缓轻松的音乐，周围都变得寂静下来，整个身心也慢慢融入到音乐中，无敌意，无仇敌，感觉整个心是打开的，所有的负面因素都像气体一样蒸发了。保持乐喜的时候，感觉气是收拢的，把所有的阳光、祥和收拢到体内。
Along with soothing and relaxing music, the whole space becomes quiet. My body and mind melt into the music gradually. “Without enmity, without enemy”, with these lyrics, my heart opens and all negative emotions evaporate. “Living in joy forever”, with these words, the peaceful energy as well as sunshine gathers in my body.

　　用慈爱之心泡茶，就是用慈悲心与盖碗交流，盖碗优雅地承载着水；与水交流，水甘美地包容着茶；与茶交流，茶迷人地舒展最曼妙的身姿。
Brewing tea with kind and compassion, let them talk with Gaiwan, so Gaiwan could hold the water gently and gracefully. Let them talk with water, so water could hold the tea leaves with love and tea becomes sweet and smooth. Let them talk with tea leaves, so they could dance elegantly in water.

　　铫煎黄蕊色，碗转麹尘花。用慈悲心泡出的茶，甘醇绵柔，沁人心脾。如一幅完美的画卷，令人缱绻。慈心茶泡完，全身心轻松愉悦，人在汤中，汤在我中，我便没有了我，似乎是那灵动的叶，轻扬飞舞。
“Brewing the tea in the pot with care, it turns to delightful yellowish liquid. Turning the cup of tea with gentle, the tea leaves blossom like delicate yellow flowers.” Made with kind and compassion, the tea is smooth, soft and refreshing. Just like a perfect scroll, it will be memorized forever. After brewing it, the joy and easy fill every corner of me. Tea and I merge together: I am in it, it is in me. Like a lithe tea leaf, I am dancing gracefully in the tea.
