Formal Tea Ceremony
VoidDescrição
The chaji (formal tea ceremony) shares some similarities with the chakai (informal) tea ceremony, but the chaji is two to three hours long and includes a full meal. The process has been passed down over generations as tea masters have infused meaning into every movement and word used in the ceremony. If one can truly attune oneself to the ritual, which takes many years of practice, it is said that the chaji can help participants reach Enlightenment.
