2016年12月2日，禅修茶道初级讲习班和初级增益班，在成都尚源青城培训中心，同时举办。这也是禅修茶道首次同时同地举办两个班。
On Dec. 2nd, 2016, the entry and advanced level of Chan Tea classes were held in Chengdu Shangyuan Qingcheng Education Center simultaneously. It is also the first time two different classes are held in same location at same time.

   禅修茶道初级的三个进阶课程：初级班、增益班、三日禅。在本期授课做了清晰、精准的调整。使得三个班的次第分明、进阶平稳。
   初级班学员在同修相识后，清点物资，认识茶具。短暂休息后恭请妙旨法师为初级班学员讲解了《禅定基础》、《初入耳根禅》课程，让学员们明白接下来三天该如何用功。随后的禅修茶道十二道工序的学习，对技法的掌握更加迅速，对耳根禅体会更加深刻。
There are three different levels of Chan Tea introduction class: entry level, advanced level and three-day Chan. This time, the instructions and focus of each class were adjusted to better differentiate them and smooth the transaction.
After the first gathering to get known classmates, students of entry level class made sure they had the every tools they need for class and start to learn the use of them. Following the short break, Master Miaozhi introduced the “Basics of Chan meditation”, “Introduction of Chan meditation through ear root” to help students understand how to practice in the following three days. This introduction made the learning of twelve steps of Chan Tea easier, facilitated the grasping of technique more efficient and advanced the understanding of Chan meditation through ear root.

   增益班学员驾轻就熟，同修分组认识后，快速进入了《禅修茶道动作细节及音韵节点讲解课程》。下午恭请妙旨法师为增益班学员讲解《深入耳根禅》课程，结合动作细节、音韵节点、乐感，学员有了专心聆听、行云流水的欢喜。
The students of advanced level were more familiar with Chan Tea. After get to know each other, the class started to elaborate “the details of movements and the key notes of the music”. In the afternoon, Master Miaozhi taught “the advance learning of Chan meditation through ear root.” Accompanied with all these information, students concentrated on music much more and experienced the joy of flowy movement.

   经过一天的学习，增益班学员开始《行禅》练习。行禅是配合禅修茶道练习的最佳搭档，行禅能舒缓腿脚的酸痛，同时提升定力。行禅时念诵“观音菩萨”用的谱子跟禅修茶道演练的谱子有异曲同工之妙。
At the end of day, students of advanced level practiced walking meditation. This practice is the best match for Chan Tea. It could alleviate sour and pain of leg, and at the same time increase Samadhi. The music score of walking meditation when chanting “Avalokite?vara” served the same purpose as Chan Tea music.

  晚餐后，学员们正在回顾今天的课程，认真记录紧凑的课程内容，满满的收获，跃然纸上！
When dinner was over, students recalled what they have learned today and wrote it down. They had gain so much and all these were vividly revealed on the paper!

   同仁相识、老友重逢，永远是一件令人开心愉快的事情！
Reunion is always happy.
