Years ago I wrote about the idea of Tasting Boundless Tea (see link above),

And ever since then I have been drinking tea in this way.

 

I have also learned through experiences in so doing to use some green tea and some fermented tea together

So that the balanced result will taste fresh and yet not harsh to the stomach.

Adding a bit of dried chrysanthemum or dried sweet osmanthus will add fragrance to the tea.

 

The tea cup shown in the attached image file was a gift from a disciple.

I like its brim with gentle slopes up and down,

And its flowers on branches inside the cup.

As one sips tea from it, one can enjoy a beautiful sight.

 

The small plate, with little bit of flowers on one side, suits it well,

And it was found in a market when I looked for a suitable companion for the cup.

 

The mat is for keyboard and mouse,

But it has map of the whole world on it.

 

 

多年前我曾陳述〈品茗無拘〉的意見；見上列網頁。

而後我便一直奉行著。

 

由之學會混合綠茶與熟茶來泡，

可使茶有鮮味而不傷胃。

加點菊花或桂花，更添香味。

 

附呈圖檔中所顯的茶杯是弟子的贈物。

我喜歡它微微起伏的邊緣

以及杯內的些許花枝。

在細啜香茗之際，可賞美景。

 

小托盤，一邊有些小花，陪襯得宜。

這是在給它找合適的伴襯時從商店發現的。

 

墊子是供鍵盤及滑鼠的，

但上面呈現著全球的地圖。

 

 

May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!

願一切眾生早日成佛！
