就是通过一系列的茶道活动,包括水、饭、谈、茶四大步,最后完成时使亭主和主客、从客静心清志,由内到外自然涌现出一种“一期一会、难得一面、世当珍惜”之感,苍凉而略带寂寥。

It is not really a proverb but a 4-character idiomatic expression (四字熟語 or yojijukugo). It is read as ichigo, ichie. The closest English expression I can think of is "once in a lifetime." I bet you know what that means.
