Main Meaning
※It means that the ordinary and natural mind is the way. The path is not something special, it is nothing more than the everyday life of walking, staying, sitting, and sleeping. The mind in the present moment, without adding anything to it, free of judgments about right and wrong or choice of what to do or not to do, is the path to enlightenment. This is a famous phrase that has become the basis for the philosophy of Zen. Sen Rikyu said, "Know that chanoyu is nothing more than the act of making hot water and drinking tea.”
