On January 12, 2018, Shanghai Chan-Tea Entry Level Intensive Class began. One of our trainees was inspired to make comments of his sensibility.
第一天——从前慢
The First Day-Slower Days in the Past
Remember young days in the past, People were sincere and honest, They honored what they said. Early morning in the railway station, Long, dark and empty was the street, The soybean milk diner was steaming with heat. Days were slower in the past, Carriage, horse and mail did not reach fast, You need your lifetime to just love the person who is right; The lock was fine in the past, The key was exquisite and fit, You lock and he will get it.
Modern people’s life is always busy with hurrying footsteps due to kinds of pressures for fear that something should be delayed. We could always see busy and tense facial expressions and hurriedly running figures everywhere, at the dinner table, on the road and in the meeting room etc. Occasionally, there is a holiday for leisure, people in the travel also do the same, hurriedly take photos, hurriedly get on the travel bus, hurriedly rush for next scenic spot.
How long haven’t we stopped our footsteps? To read a book, to watch the sunset and to talk to a little stray cat, or to have a walk with your family hand in hand? Or, nothing to think, just make a cup of tea......
Feeling gratitude for meeting, meeting with Chan-Tea. Practices of Chan-Tea make me put down the appearance of this mortal world, take up and put down leisurely, teaing becomes a kind of cultivating, making me step into my inner heart, listen to my own voice.
Let the life be slower a little, indulge yourself in travelling among mountains and rivers, follow the flowers blooming and fading away, wipe off your anxious mood, and ask your children grow up slowly, let the days pass slowly, never be utilitarian, never be fickle, thus, this kind of life should be more wonderful!
第二天——愿改变更多
The Second Day-Hope to change more
Today, many Buddhist disciples were touched to tears from their inner hearts with deep feelings. True instinct flew in naturally while the music was on, quintessential spiritual power, consciousness and gratitude came out together, incomparably relaxed and comfortable in an instant.
As the song chanted, when will the mutual revenge end? Only let oneself go, let go of holding on, open your heart, and enlarge your heart, then you will keep rejoicing for ever. The opposite of the love is not hate, but forgetting the past betrayal and revenge with laugh. If one’s heart is full of hates, where there is a place to contain the love? How could the Truth, the Goodness and the Beauty be spread? How would the persons around you be felt and accepted the lover and the beauty. So much gratitude to Ven. Master Renda for his deliberate intent and great efforts, to Buddhist masters and instructors of Zhengjue Monastery for their positive energy imparting.
Everything is valuable for its being insisted. Wish I could change more during the course of learning advanced gradually in due order.
Thanks for meeting.
