What is the Buddha's purpose in the West? Where did the Buddha say "go for tea" come from?
Seven bowls are delicious, and one pot is really interesting. Tea is better than holding 100 thousand empty. -Zhao Puchu, Zhaoxian County, formerly known as Zhaozhou, located in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. We went to the famous Berlin Zen Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, the Zen master from Zhaozhou was in charge of this Buddhist temple (then called Kannonji) for 40 years, and there were several famous cases of meditation, such as "going for tea" and "cypress trees in front of the court". The most famous case is "going for tea". 1000 years ago, two monks came to Zhaozhou from afar and asked the Zen master of Zhaozhou how to meditate. Zen master Zhao Zhou asked one of them, "Have you been here before?" The man replied, "No." Zen master Zhao Zhou said, "Have tea!" Zen master Zhao Zhou turned to another monk and asked, "Have you been here?" The monk said, "I have been here before." Zen master Zhao Zhou said, "There is tea!" At this time, the two monks were led to the prison in front of Zen master Zhao Zhou and asked curiously, "Zen master, why did you let him drink tea before?" Zen master Zhao Zhou called the prison number, and the prison number agreed. Zen master Zhao Zhou said, "There is tea!" "There have always been different opinions on the word" going to tea ",which has the power to point directly at people's hearts, thus laying the foundation that Zhaozhou Bailin Temple is the hometown of" Zen tea blindness ". Go to Zhaozhou for tea.
