There’s an old Zen story: a student said to Master Ichu (Ikkyu, 1394-1481), “Please write for me something of great wisdom.” Master Ichu picked up his brush and wrote one word: “Attention.” The student said, “Is that all?” The Master wrote: “Attention.

Attention.” In frustration, the student demanded, “What does this word ‘attention’ mean?” Master Ichu replied, “Attention means attention.”
