Purity is awakening the heart through what we do
use pristine cloth, whisks, chopsticks, picks and ladles; draw and boil water anew水と湯と茶巾茶筅に箸楊枝柄杓と心あたらしきよし
mizu to yu to chakin chasen ni hashi yōji hishaku to kokoro atarashiki yoshi

Poem
Take care in the manner you whisk the chasen through the tea
The tines of the ’boo shouldn’t scrape the floor of the bowl violently
茶を点てば茶筅に心よくつけて茶碗の底へ強くあたるな
cha o tateba chasen ni kokoro yoku tsukete chawan no soko e tsuyoku ataru na
