The beauty of Tea is a joy without purpose. With this leisure beyond the necessities of life, one can make life more flavorful and meaningful.

Through the seasons—spring, summer, autumn, winter—and the weather—sunny, cloudy, rainy, misty—one can find happiness under a single eave, by a wall, with a stove, a pot, and a Cup.

If one is particular, they might choose fine teas, whether black, white, green, yellow, Oolong, or dark, selecting those that excel in taste, aroma, and color. Find suitable water and a fitting Teapot, and with quiet focus, prepare the tea. Drinking the right tea with the right people at the right time makes the scene even better.

If one prefers simplicity, just toss in a few leaves lightly, and you have a long, lingering moment.

Drinking Tea is like appreciating scenery. We watch the sunset, gaze at the autumn river, observe flowers, listen to rain, and smell fragrances, merging the scenery into our inner selves, expanding within our vast heart space, extending into our memories. The scenery is within you, and you are within the scenery.

Like tea, once drunk, it dissolves, and you become one with it, both forms of life. As you drink, you realize that being human is simply about being alive. Its needs are not excessive but can be quite simple. Maintaining health brings great joy, happiness, and contentment.

When drunk with intention, the tea's flow through your body cleanses and revitalizes all your cells. Though not overtly transformative, it builds a solid foundation for life, enhancing your perception and vitality.

Drinking tea is also an elegant affair. This invisible elegance settles deep within, subtly blossoming over time. Though intangible, it is a rare form of nobility.

In moments of leisure, pour a cup of tea, flip through a few pages of a book, and chat about the meaning—or lack thereof—of life. In busy times, take a brief respite to sit down, calm your thoughts, and give your body a moment of peace. Hold a cup of tea, slow down, and don't let the world rush you.

With the right opportunity, drinking tea can elevate one to the pinnacle of life's beauty, transcending the mundane, carrying tradition, connecting to the greater path, and returning to life's purest, truest, most loving, and kindest essence.

Life is like tea: after growing and processing, it is brewed, consumed, and its qualities revealed. Existence and cessation are merely concepts. Tea is a vessel and a spirit, allowing one to introspect, achieving tranquility, harmony, and fearlessness. Accompanying the tea on this journey of the soul and this work of life.

Using tea to tune the mind and enter the heart. From the heart, all things arise. If you are still, the outside world will be still. If you move, the world moves. A poor heart cannot create a rich world. A rich heart turns every rugged path into a scenic route.

The beauty of tea is a system; practicing it is good for the mind and heart. It is a mindfulness and a pursuit, walking hand in hand with life to its highest point.

Everyone has different stages of practice, unique dispositions, and characteristics, each hoping to find their own path, lifestyle, and life journey, gradually cultivating a state of “existing alongside heaven and earth, coexisting with all beings.”

Whether making a grand exit or choosing to retire as an idler, it stems from inner peace and an unceasing quest for life.

This state, this realm, though not directed at everyone, is something fortunate individuals can aspire towards.

Such a state is profoundly peaceful. Amidst the bustling world, we return to our own state of being, undisturbed by external influences.

The state of the mind is clear and tranquil. Though seemingly without purpose, it is a complete and genuine existence. You can listen, observe, and speak to yourself.

This self can achieve a simple separation, distinguishing the essence of life from external pursuits of material wealth and fame, clarifying the meaning of life beyond these.

Life exists for itself, not tethered to material desires and fame, while meaning arises naturally from stripping away these externalities, solely for the sake of achieving a better state of being.

Thus, what seems useless can have great purpose, allowing one to live simply, dream big, and embark on distant journeys—all stemming from the pure state of life evoked by tea. Drink some tea, nourish yourself—it's good.
