お点前をすることや学ぶことは、精神的な修養になり、心のありようを磨いていくことになります　そこには心地よい静謐さがあります　細やかな所作は、そ のひと時を穏やかに過ごすための思いやりや、心くばりが配慮されたものになります　静寂、閑雅、幽玄、枯高、余韻などを深め感じられます
季節や趣向による道具やしつらえに触れることにより、美しさを見る目が養われます

和敬清寂（わけいせいじゃく）:　和）人との和を大切にすること　敬）互いに敬いあう気持ち　清）心の中を清浄に保つこと　寂）何ごとにも動じない心のゆとり

お茶をすると心が落ち着くように思います　それは「三昧」（無心で茶器そのものになりきる）の境地に入り、自性（本来の自己）を悟るという行いになるからかもしれません　雑念を一切交えず、心を集中し、一心に茶器を扱うことにより、三昧（ざんまい）の境地に入ります

三昧とは梵語になり、正受（（しょうじゅ）無心であればあらゆる煩悩が静止し、心は澄みきった鏡のごとくすべてのものを正しく写し、受けとめられる）という意味になります　何にでも心を一つに集中し、そのものになりきることを言います
