When first learning tea and tea ceremony, indeed you have to remember the name of each step. Because by knowing the rule, knowing how to enjoy creative freedom within the framework.
However, once you familiar with each step, then should try to put the procedure name behind. Don't let the energy of memorizing each name constrains your creative freedom.
Making tea is such joyful and simple thing, because all you have to remember is:
Take a moment for yourself, reach for inner peace with simple breathing.
Water love boiling, pouring water gently, allow tea dance gaily and joyfully.
Preparing tea requires concentration, don't show off and handle it lightly.
Serving tea with heart, a genuine sincerity and gentle love.
Tea is more than a tea drink.
Holding the cup with a grateful mind
There are priceless humane value behind each leaf.
Tea brings you a moment of eternity
You can be alone but never feeling lonely.
