Chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony, is inseparable from Zen meditation as it was greatly influenced by the Zen Buddhist monk Sen no Rikyu. He put emphasis on the concept of “ichigo ichie”, meaning “one time, one meeting”. This means that the current moment is fleeting and will never happen again. With this in mind, we are able to appreciate the beauty and impermanence of most experiences.The practice includes preparing the tea in complete mindfulness, taking the time to appreciate the tea -give thanks, and finally enjoying the tea.
