Japanese Tea Ceremony
Green tea "O-cha" is an integral part of Japanese culture.
The "chaji", or tea ceremony is usually held in a "cha-shitsu" tea-room.
Guests enter the tea-room through the "nijiriguchi", a tiny door which forces them to crouch, thereby humbling them and imbibing a sense of politeness in them.
"Chado", the Way Of Tea, is based upon the simple act of boiling water, making tea, offering it to others, and drinking of it ourselves.
The four principles of harmony, respect, purity and tranquility are timeless guides to the practice of "Chado".
Incorporating these principles into daily life helps one to find that unassailable place of tranquility that is within each of us.
