Original artwork, not a still
Zen … does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Peeling potatoes is presented as enough in itself. The passage places spirituality in giving yourself to the ordinary task, rather than adding thoughts about God while doing it. Its plain example makes attention to what is happening now feel more valuable than a separate layer of reflection.
