點心 Dim Sum

喜歡點心嗎?
港式飲茶算是香港人的驕傲吧!
可惜對素食者不太友善。
公仔拿的是叉燒包,可不是紅豆包喔!

認得出哪些港式點心呢?

還是參一參這個公案:
金剛經云:
過去心不可得,現在心不可得,未來心不可得,
請問客官要點哪一個心啊?

(謎之音:不想賣就算了!咱們換別家。)

Do you like dim sum?
Hong Kong people are so proud of their dim sum.
However, dim sum is not vegetarian friendly in Hong Kong.

Anyway, let me tell you a pun story about dim sum which is related with Chan Buddhism.
To understand this story, first you have to know that in Chinese "dim" (點) also means "to place an order" and "sum" (心) indicates the mind.

In Tang Dynasty, a Chan master, Ven. De-shan, dedicated himself to study the Diamond Sutra all his life. One day, he went to visit another Chan master. On his way, he stopped by a dim sum store to take a rest. The owner of this store who was an old woman learned that Ven. De-shan was an expert on the Diamond Sutra. Then, she asked him: "As you know, this is said in the Diamond Sutra that the mind in the past, in the present, and in the future is unable to be grasped. Hence, Venerable, which mind would you like to palace your order?" Hearing this question, Ven. De-shan was stunned and speechless.

How will you place your order?
