禅修茶道以心法统领技法，集禅修，茶道，禅诗，音乐，养生为一体，以宁静身心，颐养性情，提高素养，领悟禅的内涵为目的，以茶参禅，借茶禅修。
Chan Tea uses mind cultivation methods to direct techniques. It merges Chan meditation, tea ceremony, poems, music, and health preservation together, in order to achieve peaceful mind, build great personality, enhance self-cultivation and understand the essence of Chan meditation. It is a Chan meditation through tea ceremony.

   昨天一天的学习我的注意力经常都在腿上，会疼，疼就分心了。今天的学习和练习不知不觉中就发现念头不在腿上了，疼就随他去，念头可以更加专注在音乐上，跟随音乐一路做下来，等到感觉到腿疼时原来只剩下两句就结束了，好惊喜啊！
I paid too much attention to the leg yesterday, since it hurt a lot. I could not concentrate. Today I learn to let it go, and find out once I concentrate on music more, I do not feel pain until the last two sentences. It is a big surprise!

   我就分享一个点，跟着禅修茶道的音乐和诗词可以令人安定，带自己进入一种大度大量的境界。
I only have one thing to share, Chan Tea music and poems could calm me down and lead me enter a great realm.

   我觉得禅修茶道跟我接触的很多茶道和茶艺有很大的不同，禅修茶道可以调服自己的心念，在音乐的引领下不走神，整个过程中没有多余的动作，令到自己庄重典雅。我希望自己可以通过练习禅修茶道将这种庄重典雅，安定专注传递给更多人。
Chan Tea is so different from the tea ceremonies and techniques I have known previously, it could cultivate my mind, concentrate through music. The whole practice has no unnecessary movements, and lets myself feel graceful. I could like to pass this concentration and grace to more people through Chan Tea practice.

   幸福来的太突然，我第一次参加雁南飞禅修茶道初级班时觉的腿好痛，这次来学习感觉进步了好多，可以完成一遍的练习了。 　　
   禅修茶道的练习引导自己在生活和工作中认真，专注，这种认真和专注会带来莫大的喜悦，这种喜悦是很持久的，可以一直影响自己。虽然偶尔还会因为工作的事情起烦恼心，但是专注并回到当下，整个人都会很变得柔和。 　　
   我觉得练习禅修茶道一定要坚持，不仅是在课堂上学习，回去也要坚持练习。
The happiness came suddenly. My legs were so painful in the entry level class held in Yananfei. This time I feel so much better and could complete the whole practice.
Chan Tea practice increased my concentration in work and life, it brings me great and long-lasting joy.
Although occasionally I still troubled by something in work, but once I focus on the current moment, my heart will turn so soft. I believe one should keep on practicing, not only in the class , but also at home.

   昨天的学习因为刚刚接触，注意力一直在讲师的声音上，今天上午听闻妙旨法师的讲解，下午再练茶就会调整自己回到音乐上，融入到音声中。 　　
   我平时有喝茶的习惯，从早上睁开眼就会泡茶，一直喝到晚上，但是经常是人在喝茶，心在想其他事情，会议啊，家庭啊，身心不是合一的。通过练习禅修茶道让我可以放下对工作的思虑，感觉很放松。
Since this is the first time I get to know Chan Tea, yesterday I focused on the voice of instructor. Following master Miaozhi’s instruction this morning, I switched my focus to music this afternoon while practicing.
I drink tea everyday, making tea is the first thing after I get up, drink throughout the day until night. However, my mind is always occupied by other things, meetings, family, etc, and never on the tea. This practice will free me from all these worries and feel relax.

   因为身边很多朋友是佛友和茶友，我就跟茶结下了缘，本来我打算开一间素食馆，可是跟茶结缘后我就开了一间茶馆。通过两天的学习，我发现自己很急，在茶馆我从来没有这样安静的泡过一杯茶。
A lot of my friends are buddhists or in tea business, through them I got to know tea. Originally I planned to operate a vegan restaurant but changed my mind and opened a tea business. Through these two days learning, I realized that I rushed too much. I have never make a cup of tea in peaceful mind.

   我是从桂林来的一位老师，感觉自己很有福报参加了正觉寺的教师禅修班，也就跟禅修茶道结上了缘。之前一直有关注禅修茶道的微信公众号，通过学习禅修茶道我发现自己在工作生活中做决策时内心更清楚，更安定了。 　　
   我介绍了四位朋友来学习禅修茶道，希望这次回去可以在桂林组织禅茶的共修，也希望能有因缘在桂林开办禅修茶道初级班。
I am a teacher from Guilin, and I felt so blessed to attend the Chan mediation class for teacher in Zhenjue Monastery. From there I got to know Chan Tea. I followed Chan Tea though WeChat and through the learning of Chan Tea I found myself more calm and peaceful when making decisions in work and life.

I introduced four of my friends to be here and hoping we could practice together in Guilin after this class. Additional, I wish Chan Tea class could be held in Guilin in the future.
