Chapter 48 Every coffee bean was once a coffee flower(46)

Passing through the Bauhinia forest, the sunlight refracts from the green leaves and falls on the undulating paths, and the hearts of the leaves are full of light and warmth.The orchid pond is flowing quietly outside the forest, like the tears of gods, crystal clear and clear.Moisture and light and shadow enveloped me walking in the forest in early spring. Turning into a secluded path, the tree shade is deep all the way, and the birds are singing as before.Just at the end of the shady tree, bursts of unscented rich fragrance hit my face, only then did I realize that I was already outside a row of Qilixiang fence. This fragrance did not belong to Qilixiang, I judged intuitively.

"Ah! I found it! It is it!" The companion excitedly pointed to a strange plant in front of him, and saw that each branch of it was radiating, and the hanging green leaves were decorated with clusters of white flowers. The flowers were white and fragrant. .The fragrant fragrance floating in the sun, the shadow of the mother-in-law trees illuminated by the sky, and the sparkling water waves outside the forest, the vision, touch and smell are intertwined into a fantastic and blurred scene. When I walked out of the woods, the fragrance of white flowers still lingered in my nose. It is really "this fragrance should only exist in the sky, but how often do you smell it in the world"!The aroma that lingers in my heart for a long time prompted me to explore its life experience.

And I never expected it to be a coffee tree!The fragrant white flowers are "coffee flowers"!The coffee floral aroma of jasmine and orange is combined, compared with the bitterness of the coffee after brewing, the two are far away from each other. A few days later, I came to visit the coffee flower again, and I couldn't wait to walk through the Qilixiang trail and go straight to the coffee tree.Unexpectedly, the fragrance of longing has long been like "a wild goose flies through the sky, and the shadow sinks into the cold water", and it is nowhere to be found. The white flowers transform into small and lovely green fruits, and soon they will turn red. After harvesting and roasting, they become the well-known brown coffee beans.

Every coffee bean was once a white coffee flower.The former is the "effect" and the latter is the "cause". Where can the "effect" come from without the "cause"?All phenomena in the world exist in a relationship of causality and causality. No thing or phenomenon can arise independently, and there must be interdependence of causes and conditions in order to produce results. Whether we believe it or not, cause and effect exist as they really are, and such laws have always existed between heaven and earth.People's misfortune, good fortune, and retribution also come from the good and evil causes of their own planting, so how can they take chances or blame others?Under the coffee tree, I was once again moved by the truth of the law of cause and effect revealed by the Buddha.

Before leaving, I looked back at the past and present life of coffee flowers in the forest by the lake. I will remember this unforgettable fragrance. When it blooms next year, I will definitely come back to the old place, because "everything in the world is gone, only the fragrance is like the old days" ah! (This picture is provided by Wu Xiaodan)
