On the wahy of Chan Tea - Advanced level Chan Tea Class

我是王芝，我想和大家分享我学习禅修茶道的经历感受——可谓“不学不生情，不品不知味”。
My name is Wang, Zhi. I would like to share my experience with you about learning Chan Tea. - In a few words: you will never love it until you learn, you will never know the taste of it until you try.
去年10月份，我到博山正觉寺参加法会，偶然瞥见一个身着茶服的女子走过，仪态翩翩，神态安然。这一眼，入心了。
Last October, I came to Zhengjue Monastery to attend a Dharma Assembly. All of a sudden, a lady in Chinese tea attire passed by me. She looked graceful and peaceful. From then on, I could never forget this scene.
年初，邂逅一场禅修茶道展演，简约清净的茶席，行云流水的柔美，人茶合一的境界，给我很大的震撼。于是毫不犹豫报名参加了3月24日的禅修茶道初级讲习班，成为禅茶仙子中的一员，内心很喜欢，很欢喜。
At the beginning of this year, I accidentally ran into the Chan Tea performance. The simple and clean setting of the tea table, the gentle and flowy movements of Chan Tea, the unity of human and tea making, all of them thrilled me. Without hesitation, I signed up for entry level Chan Tea Class started from Mar 24th. I was very joyful to become one of the students, one of Chan Tea fairies.
6月16日，又一期的禅修茶道学习班，我想体验一下当义工的感觉，于是积极报名了。体验到“送人玫瑰，手有余香”的美好。
Jun 16th was the starting date for another Chan Tea class. I became a volunteer that time. I experienced the happiness of “The rose's in her hand; the flavor in mine.”
初级讲习班结束后，我们博山的新学员一直坚持在禅茶心苑参加共修，练动作 ，正姿态，学礼仪，每一个学员都认认真真学，恨不得天天在茶室练习。7月20日博山的学员参加了公益展演，这是很难得的机会。我们做得非常好，我在这次展演后，也真正觉得自己变了。
After the entry level class, the new students from Boshan kept practicing together: correcting the movements, adjusting the postures, learning the etiquette. Everyone was very serious and wanted to practice every day. On Jul 20th, we performed at a charity event. Everyone performed very well and I felt myself changed thereafter.
从开班的那一刻起，我就对自己说我要学好，修好，更要为我们小组里的每一位成员服务好，让大家都学好、修好。
This time, at the beginning of the class, I promised to myself I will study well. Even more, I will help all the students from my group to study well.
短短的几个月，从初级讲习班学员，到做禅修茶道的后勤义工，然后去参加展演活动……到今天在初级增益班做小组的组长，我体会着，收获着，改变着……
In just a few months, from a new student, to a volunteer, to a performer and to the group lead today, I am experiencing, gaining and changing.
走在禅修的路上，对禅修茶道的的这份情越来越浓。偶遇禅茶，禅修静，静生定，定生慧，智慧无烦恼，慈悲无愁怨。我要把她学好，做好，传播出去……
On the way of Chan Tea, my love for it is deeper and thicker each day. It all began from that unexpected encounter. Chan Tea creates peace to mind, from there we could attain Samadhi then wisdom. We will have no worries if we have wisdom, no enmity if we have kindness and compassion. I would like to study Chan Tea very well and spread it widely.
