🌸Good words to recite during loving-kindness meditation🌸

We are all part of this great Earth.

Everyone is connected as one.

Extend a helping hand to those who are suffering in dark and painful circumstances.

Create a place where they can belong.

Share your happiness with them and wrap them in love.

May this person find happiness.

What is porcelain?

Porcelain is mainly made from a type of rock called touseki (porcelain stone).

Features

1️⃣ Hard and durable

2️⃣ Resistant to water absorption, stains, and odors

3️⃣ Smooth texture

4️⃣ Heats up and cools down quickly

Porcelain, unlike pottery, repels odors and stains, which makes it super convenient when I’m too tired to properly clean the dishes. Personally, I love the rough, earthy texture of pottery, but I also appreciate how easy porcelain is to handle.

磁器とは・・・陶石と呼ばれる岩石が主な原料

特徴

①硬い

②水を吸いにくくて、色や匂いがつきにくい

③なめらかな肌触り

④熱しやすく冷めやすい

磁器は陶器と違って匂いやしみを弾いてくれるから、疲れていてお皿を拭きたくないときに、便利。

個人的に陶器の土のようなザラザラした肌触りが好きやけど、磁器は磁器で扱いやすくて好き。
