Wuyishan Tea Tasting: The Origin of Da Hong Pao | Tianxin Zen Temple.

| Tianxin Zen Temple. 🌟The origin of Da Hong Pao, the backyard of Tianxin Zen Temple in Wuyishan is the ancestral home of Da Hong Pao. When the temple was first built, it was called Shanxin Yongle Nunnery, named for its location in the center of the 120-mile scenic area of Wuyishan. In the 17th year of the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty decreed Tianxin Yongle Zen Temple and named the tea of Tianxin Temple "Da Hong Pao". 🌟The backyard of the ancestral home of Da Hong Pao was once the birthplace of the mother plant of Da Hong Pao. The temple architecture is simple and unadorned, with bricks that are not overly painted, revealing a sense of solemnity in the Buddhist world. Surrounded by ancient trees, the environment is tranquil, a pure land of Buddhism. 🌟On weekends, go to Wuyishan to eat vegetarian food, chant sutras, burn incense, and pray for blessings. I originally made an appointment with the abbot of Tianxin Zen Temple, but unfortunately, I happened to meet the new big boss of Wuyishan who went to visit the abbot, so I didn't get to see the abbot this time, which is a bit regrettable. Stay at Yongle Zen Temple to drink tea, cultivate the mind, practice, eat vegetarian food, and live a day as a layperson, nurturing both body and mind. 🌟On the central axis of the temple, there are the Maitreya Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Hall, Dharma Hall, warehouse, dining hall, meditation hall, guest hall, and incense guest building. On both sides, there are three-story bell towers, drum towers, and side halls. The large structure has flying eaves and curved railings, magnificent and grand. The small carvings are exquisite and ingenious. The Mahavira Hall is a double-eaved Xieshan-style building, which increases the sense of solemnity in the Buddhist world. 🌟The dining hall of the Zen temple serves meals at 11 o'clock sharp. Before meals, everyone recites sutras in unison. During meals, no one speaks. You take your own bowl and chopsticks, take vegetarian dishes and rice, and after eating in about ten minutes, you wash your own bowl and chopsticks and put them back in place. 🌟Tasted tea at the Zen temple, the tea brewed by the monk was fragrant and delicious, the environment was very quiet, savoring life, savoring Da Hong Pao, savoring the present moment, that's probably it.
