What is a Way?
The word Way comes from the Chinese word "dao" (Japanese "do") which can simply mean way or path, but in association with other arts like The Way of Tea (Sa-do), The Way of Archery (Kyu-do), or the Way of Calligraphy (Sho-do), it can take on a much deeper meaning -- a meditation, a way of life, or spiritual path.
For the character and more...
The Chinese character for the term dao or do.
Other Ways:
Kyudo - The Way of Archery
Shodo - The Way of Writing
Sado - The Way of Tea
Zen
Thanks to Bob Myers for the alternative Sado, instead of Chado, on the Way of Tea

The "Way of Tea" should be sado, not chado.
