When added to other words, it means discipline (usually difficult and sometimes unreasonably painful) to which you devote yourself and through which you reach the sublime of spirit. There are many DO's such as BUDO (marshal arts), SHODO (calligraphy), SADO (tea ceremony) etc., and when you learn and practise them you should respect what "DO" means. I am not sure how much Zen influenced it. It is an open question how one can achieve sublime spirit through using Leica. ;-) ;-) Mikiro Strasbourg - --MS_Mac_OE_3007229252_134793_MIME_Part Content-type: text/html; charset="ISO-2022-JP" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Leica-Do (was 75'lux focusing)</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR=3D"#FFFFFF"> <FONT FACE=3D"Geneva">Eric, <BR> <BR> "DO" (pronounced as doh) originally means a road.
