It is used as a greeting to express gratitude and wishes for things being unchanged, for good health, and for peace. However, the Zen term "buji" has a deeper meaning. The "buji" that Zen practitioners speak of means a refreshing state of mind that has completely discarded the desire to seek outward. "Buji" is a state of mind that does not seek things like enlightenment, the Way, salvation, or happiness outside of oneself or in others. We certainly have muddy, pitch-black earthly desires (bonno), but within them, the pure humanity that makes us human is buried. Therefore, a person who is "buji" is in a state where they realize there is no need to seek externally. Without seeking, you should be able to discover yourself embraced by pure humanity (also called Buddha-nature) and shining vibrantly. This is the way of life of "Buji."
