The Book of Ichigo Ichie by Héctor García
This product was recommended by Charmaine Allen from LuvMeKitchen
_ichi-go ichi-e_ is an old Japanese proverb that means one opportunity, one encounter. It can also be interpreted as for this time only, never again, and one chance in a lifetime. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, the term _ichigo_ means from one’s birth to death. Ichigo Ichie in Japanese encompasses the idea of observing every moment and most importantly cherishing every moment. It is believed that following this principle allows one to achieve harmony with others and love of life. This book teaches one to appreciate the beauty of the fleeting, to use all five of our senses to anchor ourselves in the present, and also to use ichigo ichie to help you discover your ikigai or life’s purpose. This book encourages one to live in the moment to help them to find their life’s purpose.
