One ~ Becoming tea by letting go of the leaf upon meeting water ~ such is Generosity;
Two ~ Diffusing the frangance of leaf and tea like burning incense ~ such is Upholding the Precepts;
Three ~ Tolerating to be roasted and fermented, pressed and rubbed ~ such is Forbearance;
Four ~ Eliminating lethargy and elevating energy, awakening the body and aiding clear thinking ~ such is Diligence;
Five ~ Harmony, reverence, and serenity, just like tasting of the tea ~ such is concentrated Meditation;
Six ~ Using tea as an expedient means in helping countless sentient beings ~ such is Wisdom.
The Dharma is IN the tea.
The mind of tea and the Mind of the Buddhas, are they different, or the same?
