A Buddhist monk's day begins with a thorough cleaning of the temple. This is not just to keep the grounds tidy, but also to declutter the mind. In this charming and thoughtful little book, Shin-Buddhist monk Shoukei Matsumoto shares why "cleanliness is close to enlightenment" in the Buddhist tradition, with practical guidance on keeping each room of the house spotless, establishing an enriching cleaning routine for the whole family, and transforming your home into an immaculate and tranquil environment. Take spring cleaning to a whole new soul-nourishing level!
