Wo Wei (Mu-i in Japanese), which literally means doing nothing, means facing everything one by one carefully and mindfully. Doing with a thing in a catch-as-catch-can manner or coping with it in a slapdash way would eventually make itself a difficulty beyond control. In order to evade it, people of the Tao would do carefully and mindfully with even little or easy things. So they look like they are doing nothing. The reason that peace around a Budo-ka connected to the Tao is maintained without difficulties is that he/she always pays attention to all directions in a mindful manner, and deals with things carefully and mindfully. In short, this is Zen.

After Reading Lao Tsu: Chapter 63 老子：第六三章を読んで
無為とは，一つ一つの物事に対して，丁寧に大切に向き合うことである。やたらに手を出したり，いい加減に応じたりすると，やがて手に負えない難事となる。そうならないために，タオの人は小さなことでも易しいことでも，丁寧に大切に行う。だからまるで何もしていないように見える。タオに通じる武道家の周りが，難事に至らず平和を保てるのは，常にマインドフルに注意を四方に払い，物事を丁寧に大切に扱うからである。つまり，それは禅である。
