七茶诗 - 道出喝茶之境界

一碗喉吻润,
二碗破孤闷.
三碗搜枯肠,
惟有文字五千卷.
四碗发轻汗,
平生不平事,
尽向毛孔散.
五碗肌骨清,
六碗通仙灵.
七碗吃不也,
惟两腋习习清风生.
蓬莱山在何处, 玉川子乘此清风欲归去.

虑仝 (唐)

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.
In remembrance of my beloved grandmother - 05.03.2000
