¡°Ru Shi¡± Tea Party
¡°Ru Shi¡± Tea Party is original from Rushi Pavilion.
One day, Guo Zheng mage pointed at the delicate Rushi Pavilion and named Puzhao Zen Tea: Ru Shi. Ru Shi represents letting things take their own courses.

It was just April, spring was all over the place.
Tranquil woods, simple and aged temple, we sit in front of the thousand-years-old Nanmu, just to experience the intangible Zen and fragrant of tea.
Bowing
Before the tea party starts, all the believers will chant sutra devoutly in front the main hall. Bowing, praying, offering tea to the Buddha, and leave the merits to the entire world.
Performed by Pu Miao mage, Pu Hui mage and Pu Wu mage, the etiquette was shown in front of all the believers. In this tranquil and devout place, people will feel the Zen Tea in the best way.
After performing the etiquettes, meditate and clear your mind, all the people sit quiet and still.
All the servers start the routine, take out tea set, wash, make, serve. The sound of music, water mix together and come out a cup tea that tastes like no other things.
Travelling makes you realize where do you belong. A steady place to stay and a restful life to live are all blessings. After tasting all the flavors you realize the simpler the better.
