With sincere thanks and wishes , three-day Chan of Chan Tea class came to successful end on Oct. 14th, 2016.

   三天紧张又快乐的学习，学习的主题一个连着一个，学员们收获满满。
Three days of full study schedule, busy but joyful. Students had a rich and rewarding journey.

忘却动作 让身心律动起来
Forget the movements, let body and mind flow with music. 　　

   置身在音乐中，跟随音乐做动作。将动作融入音乐，忘记动作，让身心律动起来，一切都是那么的自然而然。在讲师的带领下，根据提示练习禅茶，学员们纷纷表示体会到了行云流水的感觉，体会到了禅悦之美。
Immersing ourselves in the music, move along with it. Forget the movements, just let our body and mind flow with music, everything feels so natural. Guided by instructor to practice Chan Tea, students experienced the smooth of flowy movements and enjoyed the wonderfulness of Chan.

禅桌搬上舞台 讲堂变成禅堂
Put the Chan table on the stage , turn auditorium into mediation hall 　　

   经过一天的集中练习，三日禅的学员们登上正觉大讲堂，为佛商禅修班学员以及居士、义工们，展演禅修茶道与手印舞。优美的禅乐禅诗、整齐划一的动作、静谧的禅修意境……禅意浓浓的禅修茶道，令观众们恍若置身仙境。
After a full day of practice, students of Three-day Chan performed Chan Tea and mudras dance in Zhengjue Grand Auditorium for lay buddhists, volunteers and Buddhist businessmen class students. The graceful Chan music and poems, the uniformed movements and peaceful and quiet Chan meditation… all these let audience set in wonderland.

禅僧说禅　妙传心印
Chan master explain and transimit essence of Chan 　　

   将自己从演员的角色转换为旁观者，再进一步提升，把自己的角色转换为导演。自己作为一个旁观者，当念头起来时，要清清楚楚，明明白白，知道我起的是个什么念头。这就是觉知当下，也是觉知的艺术。
Switch my point of view from performer to audience, and one step further, to director. As an observer, at the first initiation of a thought, I need to be very clear, what the thought is. This is the focus on current moment. The art of awareness. 　　

   学员们在法师指导下，按照觉知训练三部曲训练自己：觉知身体动作；觉知自己的念头；觉知因念头而衍生出的感情、情感、情绪。
Under the instruction of master, students practiced three steps of awareness training: aware of body movement, aware of thought, and aware of emotions derivative from thoughts. 　　

   把“觉知”带到任何种类的禅修方法中，将心安住在当下的觉知上，妥善照顾每一个念头，利用当下的每一个念头来修行。
Apply awareness technique in any kind of Chan meditation, focus on current moments, watch every thought, and practice.

品茶品心 千人千味
Read mind through savoring tea, a thousand people have a thousand tastes 　　

   本次三日禅品茶课是品鉴古树白茶。教授师介绍了白茶的产地、特性、冲泡方法后，学员们止语泡茶。静心品自己的茶，再品茶友们的茶，千人千味，心境不同，味道迥异。许多学员还从茶汤的味道中认识到了自己修行的问题。教授师中肯、到位的点评，更是令学员们受益匪浅。
The tea for tasting in this three-day Chan is white tea from ancient tree. After instructor explained the place of origin, characteristics and method of brewing, students made the tea without talking. The tastes of tea made by myself and classmates vary a lot. It also reflect our minds. Through the taste of the tea, many students discovered the issues in cultivation. The feedbacks given by instructor benefited students a lot.

寺院巡礼 寓教于行
A tour of monastery, an education journey 　　

   在教授师的带领下，学员们有了一次难忘的“博山正觉寺建寺回顾展”的寺院巡礼。通过图片、实物、影音资料，大家了解到正觉寺14年的建寺历程：从一片荒山，到初具规模，到现在的庄严恢宏、气势磅礴的佛教建筑群。大家从正觉寺14年的建寺历程中，感悟到了自己应该如何做事，如何修行。
Instructor gave a tour of the exhibition of reconstruction of Zhengjue monastery to students. Through photos, objects and videos, students came to know the fourteen years journey of reconstruction: transformed from a barren mountain, to an initial shape, and finally to magnificent Buddhist buildings. Everyone learned a lot from this tour and realized how we should cultivate ourselves.

博采众长 融会贯通
Learn from different perspectives and gain the mastery 　　

   欣赏字画如同品茶，寺院巡礼的其中一站是正觉寺书画院。出自书画大家、德高望重的尊者之手的作品，力透纸背，学员们或感受跃出纸面的力量，或享受到自在安然的禅境，或体悟到字里行间的慈悲……艺术是相通的，也是相互交融的，书画院的艺术氛围，让学员们驻足体悟。
Appreciating painting and calligraphy is similar to savoring tea. Trip to Zhengjue painting and calligraphy institute is also included in the tour. These art works came from respectful artists. Looking at those works, students could feel the power penetrating the paper, enjoy the peace of Chan, or touched by compassion… All art forms are similar, the artistic environment of the institute let students stop and think.

无我茶会 无求回报
Tea sharing gathering, without expectation of reward 　　

   无我茶会是一种“大家参与”的茶会，人人平等，无求回报之心。参加茶会的每个人泡的茶都是奉给左边的茶侣，自己所品之茶却来自右边茶侣。通过无我茶会，学员们进一步学习体会到人人都为他人服务，而不求对方回报。
The tea sharing gathering is for participation of everyone, equal and without expectation of reward. Everyone make the tea for people on her/his left. Everyone tastes the tea made by the people one her/his right. Through this gathering, students learned to serve others and expect no reward.

   三日禅课程法理与实操完美结合，课程满满，紧张有序，学员们感触颇深，收获良多，在无限的感恩中大家挥手道别，期待下一次的再相见。
The three-day Chan class perfectly merged the theory with practice, and made the intense agenda but in an orderly manner. Students gained a lot and wished to meet again with grateful hearts.
