一期 (Ichi-go) is lifetime. 一会 (Ichi-e) is one time.
--> Literally means "One time in your life".
Explaining:
Every encounter is important because it is only one time in your life and will never recur.
This is the Japanese proverb created by Japanese Tea Ceremony master Sen No Rikyu. He thought present will never come again. So He welcomed and treated people with his tea as best as he could. If you won't you will regret because you may not see them again. This thought is also linked to Zen.
