The powder is measured out with a curved bamboo implement called a chashaku into the tea bowl, or

Today's Buddhist Thought
By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure— a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good— that is the treasure which will not leave one.
