Last week, it was said here that enlightenment is not something gained or acquired as a result of practice, and as long as we seek some sort of reward or outcome, we are not practicing the Buddha Way.
Last week, it was said here that the Way is merely the path we should walk in our daily activities (michi), while walking thusly in that way (dao) is nothing other than a manifestation of the Buddha's enlightenment.
These two, the everyday way of things and the Way of the absolute, are intimately intertwined. Many centuries ago, Confucius said that what we could be separated from is not the Way.
