[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, short poems] Handwritten "Red furnace, one point snow" by Arima Yoritsune

● A single speck of snow…This is a place of correct mindfulness in zazen samadhi, where all worldly desires and delusions have been eradicated. No evil thoughts can approach here. Delusion and evil are like a flake of snow falling on a red-hot furnace with crimson flames, melting in an instant and disappearing without a trace.
