Buhdism, which evolved in the East, is not imnpossible, but very difficult for a Westerner born and bred, to practice.

"Chop wood, carry water" ought to easily translate to "flip burgers, telemarket subscriptions to TV guide" but in practice, immersed in our own culture, we find this nearly impossible.

"Do what you need to do and do it as a contemplation of the Divine" is perhaps an even better translation, and it should be no problem to do so while asking if the patron would like fries with that.
