Eating rice or eating rice 吃米还是吃饭

Eating rice or eating rice  吃米还是吃饭

This was one of my encounter with the Grandmaster of Chinese Tea.

A young and over eager enthusiastic me : “Instruct me in the way of Tea ? “

Master Sim : “ when u are hungry, what do you do ? “

Me : “ Eat “

Master sim : “ When u are thirsty , what do u do ? “

Me : “ Drink, drink water to be precise.”

Master Sim : “ When you eat rice do you eat the uncooked rice or cooked rice ? “ “吃米还是吃饭”

Me : “ Cooked rice ! “ 吃饭

Master sim : “ Very good , do you understand ? “

After some months of pondering,

My answer :  “Eating rice is different from eating rice. But Eating rice is still eating rice! “

                                吃饭不是吃米, 吃饭也是吃米 !

Master Sim : “ So what is your problems! “

Master Sim : “ The way of tea is nothing but tea and water . “

Me : “ there is eating rice and there is eating rice”

                “吃米还是吃饭”

Passionate passion fruit vine

The vines are symbols of productivity and efficiency.
Which is the central teaching of Islam. One must be productive in one life.
This value has been assimilated into chinese culture.
it has become a Chinese value .

The passion fruit plant was from a bird dropping in carrie's old master's jasmine tree. The jasmine tree is around 100 year old . over a period of 2 months the vines has run wild in the tea gardern. even try to assimilate the fish net !
