About this product

Product Information

Cleanliness is next to enlightenment. The Japanese bestseller explains traditional techniques that help cleanse not only your house - but your soul. We remove dust to sweep away our worldly desires. We scrub dirt to free ourselves of attachments. We live simply and take time to contemplate the self, mindfully living each moment. It's not just monks that need to live this way. Everyone in today's busy world today needs it. The Zen sect of Buddhism is renowned for the cleanliness of its monks, but cleaning is greatly valued in Japanese Buddhism in general as a way to cultivate the mind. In this book, I introduce everyday cleaning methods typically employed in temples, while sharing what it's like to be a monk in training. This book will improve the condition not just of your own mind, but also the people around you. I hope readers will discover that cleanliness is an opportunity to contemplate oneself.

A subtle reminder of why we should be mindful.
As reading through this charming little book, I was reminded of all of the things I neglect to do on a daily basis when other things in life get in the way. I however, paused to read this charming little book and realised i have the time really ! i have just forgotten how to use it well. A lot of the things in the book I have actually incorporated into my life at sometime or another, like I say, this little book has just reminded me.

A quick guide to a lifelong process
This is a super quick read (a few hours) the ideas are simple but to do it properly is a life long lesson in being mindful and grateful and sustainable. 2 simple ideas: clean in the morning and tidy in the evening are linked to ides about calmness and enlightenment. Even my teenagers "got" some of it!
