Purity (清) (sei) and Tranquility (寂) (jaku)

🌿 Purity and Tranquility in the Japanese Tea Ceremony 🌿

Now, let’s look at the last two key values:

Purity (清) sei : This isn’t just physical cleanliness—it’s about cleansing the mind and spirit. The host purifies the tea utensils, while the space remains peaceful.

Tranquility (寂) jaku : The ultimate goal of the ceremony is to bring about a feeling of tranquility and calm. It’s the perfect way to reflect and find peace.

🌸 Which of these values resonates with you the most?
