Features: I love listening to lectures by masters, and I also enjoy chatting with ordinary people. I always feel there is something common and shared between the two, which is authenticity and simplicity. The greatness of a master lies not only in their depth but also in their ability to transform profundity into simplicity, conveying their ideas to people in concise and ordinary language. There must be exceptions, but at least the masters I have seen and can understand are like this. The everyday stories of ordinary people are almost bare, which is even more captivating. I think our "Tea House" should be filled with such an atmosphere.
