The Book of Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making The Most of Every Moment, The Japanese Way - Francesc Miralles
The Book of Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making The Most of Every Moment, The Japanese Way - Francesc Miralles
Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip
away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase
ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and
special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-
century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of
attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present
moment.
Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention,
harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie.
