茶道

 文/星云大师


人活着,要靠日光、空气、水分,三者缺一,就不能生存。其中人生与水分的关系,西方人喝咖啡,东方人喝茶,都是与水结缘。不管喝咖啡或是喝茶,除了补充人体所需的水分之外,另有深意。现把喝茶的意义,略说如下:


一、泡茶之心:当我们兴起喝茶的念头时,随手泡一杯茶,当下不会有太多、太大的贪念,既不想要升官发财,也不会希求世间给我什么,只想喝一杯清茶,可以疲劳尽除,妄念息下,悠闲自得,就已经心满意足了。假如偶尔三五好友,相约喝茶聊天,所费不多,谈不上浪费,也不会暴殄天物。大家在茶叙之际,彼此谈心论道,交换意见,岂不快哉。


二、沏茶之情:当我们准备泡茶时,先要准备好各种茶具,并且小心翼翼的把茶壶、茶杯洗净。当开水煮好,沏茶的时候,算好人数,茶叶要适量;此刻的心情,最能体会开水的可贵、茶叶的美味、茶具的珍贵,所以沏茶之时,人性的真情流露,至为难得。


三、上茶之道:中国是礼仪之邦,上茶之道向来被视为一个人品格操守的流露。自从唐朝喝茶文化传入日本后,直到今天日本仍然保存着中国的茶道,不只是待客以茶,尤其待客以心,就如在诸佛之前献香、献花一样。待客清茶一杯,双手捧上,无限的心意,至情的流露,无比宝贵。


四、茶具之周:过去古人喝茶,讲究「喝茶之道」,并不像今人这么简化。根据大陆西安法门寺地宫出土的文物,当中有许多茶具,都以黄金为材质,且经巧匠铸造;中国的茶具之精美,可以表现族群的层次。今日宜兴的紫砂茶壶,在世界茶具之中,堪称一绝。尤其中国人品茗,不只是茶具讲究,连泡茶的技术、程序,都有学问在,都让人感到人外有人,天外有天。


五、饮茶之地:中国人喝茶,不但讲究茶具的精美、茶叶的品质、泡茶的方法、上茶的礼貌,尤其喝茶的地方也十分考究。喝茶之地,不只有茶楼、茶馆,文人甚至荡舟水上,或在湖水之滨、亭台一隅,大家聚会喝茶,吟诗作赋,享受浮生半日闲。另外,一些乡村老农,选在大树之下,三五邻居,一边喝茶,一边下棋,或是闲话家常,这种享受喝茶的人生乐趣,实非今日流连在舞厅、酒家之人所能体会。


六、茶禅之味:喝茶,不但要喝出道来,喝出慧来,尤其如果能够喝出禅来,喝出悟来,那就更奇妙了。禅门里,对于前来参学的学僧,都叫人「吃茶去」、「洗碗去」,或者是「扫地去」。尤其有名的赵州禅师,你去参访他,问他:「如何是道?」他说:「你去吃茶。」你问如何开悟?他也叫你「吃茶去」。什么是道?什么是悟?一律「吃茶去」。这是说明,茶道中蕴涵禅机无限,所以喝茶,要喝清凉之茶、平和之茶、禅味之茶、无心之茶。所谓「无心之茶」,里面包罗万象,柳绿花红,另有一番世界。

茶与古时相遇 【When tea meets with water】


茶与水相遇,造就了多少美丽的故事; 茶与古时相遇,又是一个什麽样的意境呢?

镜中花,水中月,多麽美丽而脱俗的意境啊!

茶与这意境相遇相知而成的茶宴,牵引宾客在品茶中感受了自己的心在当下犹如水中月一般清澈,那种感动久久不能释怀。

同时,茶的香气在四周洋溢着,茶师娓娓细述口这美丽的意境,让宾客们感觉自己顿时回到了远古时期,在那时光里品著茶,看那月光映在湖面上,享受这良辰美景。这时多希望这美好时光能停留在这一刻,暂时远离尘世间的一切喧哗!

茶友们,快来体验一下这别於一般品茶的感觉,让自己的心处於美好时光。

【Mirror Flower Water Moon】Tea Ceremony on July 29, 2017:

Have you ever wonder what it is like when tea meets with water; or imagine the atmosphere where tea was enjoyed in an ancient era?

The beauty of flowers in the mirror & the reflection of moon in water, what a stunning scene!

The combination of the tea ceremony and the exquisite scene are taking guests to another world, where feeling of serenity sits very still at that very moment. It appears like a clear vision of moon in the still water – A sense of contentment is felt by all, a sense that will never be forgotten.

At the same time, the aroma of tea fills the air, together with the Tea Master describing every detail of the delicate ritual. This is the time where each guest is taken back to the passage of ancient times - a time where tea was drunk by the lake under the moon, whilst gazing at the reflection of the moon on the water. The tea drinkers can't help but feel a sense of happiness & peace that is beyond language and that has been long forgotten these days.

For tea lovers out there, please come and experience this unique experience with KJS, taking your heart on a transforming journey!

「Mirror Flower Water Moon」

After KJS' Tea Ceremony in May 2017 made it to the press release in the major newspapers, coupled with receiving very good response from the tea lovers, thus, we have decided to hold another tea ceremony so that more people are able to experience this unique tour of contentment.

After our many visits to Taipei to invite Master Yao to come to Kuching once again, finally Master Yao was able to adjust his busy schedule and agreed to visit Kuching again!

The Tea Ceremony will be on July 29 (Saturday) and will be led by Master Yao to bring us to another beautiful & wonderful place.

【一期一会】茶宴 【One-time-one-meeting】Tea Ceremony:


你知道吗?

“一期”表示人的一生;“一会”则意味仅有一次的相会。为此作为主人的古吉祥尽心招待客人而不可有半点马虎,希望客人也能理解主人之心意,并将主人的一片心意铭记于心中,因此主客皆以诚相待。 “一期一会”提醒人们要珍惜每个瞬间的机缘,并为人生中可能仅有的一次相会,付出全部的心力;若因漫不经心轻忽了眼前所有,那会是比擦身而过更为深刻的遗憾。 故主人用心奉茶,客人用心品饮。

如果你想体验古吉祥的这份用心,就不要再错过我们的茶宴了!每一场茶宴的主題都会给你带来惊喜。

古吉祥将于7月29日(周六)举办一场让你毕生难忘的茶宴,并有幸邀请到来自台北的姚昆哲老师引领渐进另外美丽的世界~ 名额有限,不要因为错过而留下遗憾。请大家速速跟我们报名~ 如果有任何问题,欢迎联系我们~

Do you know?
The term “one-time” means that “one’s whole lifetime”; “one-meeting” means the only time we meet. And it is translated into "once in a lifetime" or "for this time only" - meaning one's realization & experience during a tea ceremony will never be replicated. Thus, KJS, as the Host, devotes whole-heartedly to entertain our guests, hoping our guests would appreciate & remember such thoughts of the Host. This is the principle of “one-time; one-meeting” tea ceremony.

"One-time; One-meeting" reminds people to cherish every moment that we have and be able to grasp & give the best from potentially the only chance that we meet. Otherwise, we may live in regrets. Because of this principle, the host serves tea whole heartedly while the guest enjoys it with his/her heart. Any moment in life should be treasured.

Don't miss KJS tea ceremony in July if you would like to find out the unique experience of "one-time-one-meeting"! The theme of our tea ceremony will give you a pleasant surprise.

KJS will hold another tea ceremony on July 29 (Saturday) which will bring you this memorable experience. We are fortunate to be able to invite Master Yao again all the way from Taipei to lead us to a wonderful & beautiful place that we long to go. You will definitely enjoy every moment with us.

Seat is limited & don't miss the opportunity to experience a once in a lifetime experience. Please contact us for more detail & registration.

Many tea lovers expressed to us that they felt disappointed for not being able to participate in the tea ceremony due to limited number of seats, and were asking about our next event.

As KJS hopes to promote simple happiness through tea & tea ceremony, we decided to pursue this simple happiness on behalf. We went to Taipei several times to invite Master Yao to visit Kuching again. After shuffling his busy schedule, Master Yao has finally accepted our invitation!

【探索幸福之巡礼】一期一会之茶宴 [An Exploration Tour of Contentement] "One-time-one-meeting" Tea Ceremony

茶宴的前几天,姚老师和古吉祥的团队们一起出发到当地集市去寻找【幸福之来源】。为的是将茶宴融入古晋当地的环境,并以【慈悲书斋】的茶结合当地的食材,以呈现完美的搭配。 其实生活上有很多东西我们都很容易忽略,我们试图在别处寻找幸福,但似乎忘记了它们就在我们身边。

茶宴当天,我们为宾客们精心的准备了3道茶点来搭配了我们的茶。在这优美的环境里,配上茶香花香,整个茶宴给大家的感官带来了快乐:视觉,味觉,嗅味,听觉。而最重要的是心灵的愉悦。原来品茶只要用心就可以品到简单的幸福;原来一杯好茶搭配对的茶点,用心感受,活在当下就是一种幸福。看到大家露出惊艳的表情似乎已經体会了茶品带来的幸福感。

借着手中这杯香气四溢的茶,浮躁的情绪得到了洗涤,心灵也彷彿翱翔在一方碧空中,清爽而明朗。一期一会,因緣而聚,故殊值珍惜。

A few days before the Tea Ceremony, Master Yao and KJS headed out to the local markets & supermarkets to find the “source of happiness”, in an attempt to integrate local ingredients & environment to the theme of our tea ceremony. Our attempt is simple – pairing CBH tea to what is available & presenting the Tea Ceremony in what we can obtain around us. In fact, there are many good things in life that we often take for granted. We try to find happiness elsewhere, but seem to forget that it is just around us.

In the Tea Ceremony, our guests were presented with tea dim sums prepared by us, which were from carefully selected ingredients, to compliment the chosen tea we served. In the beautiful decorated setting, the whole tea ceremony evoked pleasure from all senses of our guests: sight, taste, smells, auditory, and most importantly, their hearts. This is where our guests discovered that simple happiness could be felt as long as we choose to enjoy that special moment.

We hope that this is an unforgetable & unique experience for our guests. “One-time; One-meeting“ Tea Ceremony happened for a cause, and thus should be cherished.
