『心偈』26

26「茶ニテアレ　茶ニテナカレ」

　　　　　　　　　　　　　柳宗悦『心偈』

It should be tea.  It shouldn't be tea.

A person who often put his hearts into the tea ceremony is to be a slave to the tea ceremony.

There isn't tea like that inconvenience situation.

Tea would like to be tea forever, it should be tea  and it should have the one not finished tea or  staying tea at the same time.

This is why I say ”It should be tea.  It shouldn't be tea.”

It may sound paradoxical If it is only tea, it may not be true tea.

It isn't just tea, it doesn't have the meaning.

Even if it's tea, but it isn't tea and It isn't tea but also it's tea.

It must show us. This is why tea has strictnesses.

Tea in time of need is tea that has two meaning.

It can't be ultimate tea without trouble in emergency.

Most of masters of tea ceremony in nowadays doen't have strictnesses of " It shouldn't be tea."

That is why they don't keep enough "It should be tea. "

Most of tea in recently can't have the qualification that called tea.

 完璧にはほど遠いですが。
