侘寂 Wabi&Sabi

As soon as I wake up in the morning, I make my filter coffee.Tobacco also.I love this way of life, it makes me feel good. I am very surprised at the pleasure of having something while eating and drinking something. Filter coffee gives a different feeling, Matcha is different, white wine is much more.It is also very strange that every culture has its own drink. We have Turks adopt black tea, Germans adopt beer more, wine culture in French…Of course, geography has a share in this, economically and geologically, but there is also an event where societies express their feelings with such things according to their traditions.When I see these, I say ''thank God the world is multinational.''Because each culture expresses each emotion in a different way. Respect, for example, was expressed in China with tea for the elders. The sincerity in us, the Turks drink tea to chat. Drinking coffee with someone is not national, its universal.I think filter coffee is a symbol of being vigorous.

There is a cartoon called Avatar The Last Airbender. I've watched all of its seasons. Everything was great.The uncle of the Prince of Fire was a super hero who learned most of the good and bad in life, but preferred peace and calm.He was demonstrating his calmness and unwillingness of the material side of life by making tea.I could see his patience, love, and life, while he was making tea. I had no interest in Japanese culture until I saw this character.I also started researching the monks, and I found two words, Wabi and Sabi, which almost introduced Japanese culture to me, and you can even see it in its architecture.

"Wabi" represents the inner, or spiritual, experiences of human lives. Its original meaning indicated quiet or sober refinement, or subdued taste "identified by humility, restraint, simplicity, naturalism, profundity, imperfection, and asymmetry" and "emphasizes simple, unadorned objects and architectural space, and celebrates the mellow beauty that time and care impart to materials. "Sabi", on the other hand, represents the outer, or material side of life. Originally, it meant "worn", "weathered", or "decayed". Particularly among the nobility, understanding emptiness was considered the most effective means to spiritual awakening, while embracing imperfection was honored as a healthy reminder to cherish our unpolished selves, here and now, just as we are — the first step to "satori" or enlightenment.

I have always been a fan of Japanese architecture. I never give up. Although they contain so much variety, these two words are so central to their lives, their productivity respects these two words,they never give up two words.

What is the reason why the monks are so successful? It's a monk principle ,i think.How did they bring this to the public?

If you know something about monks, teas, Japanese culture, or a book, documentary, movie, please email me, it's a very mysterious and wonderful culture.
