Description
This is not just another Japanese book about tidying up. The Monk's Guide to a Clean House and Mind is an international bestseller translated into about twenty languages, finally being released in Czech. Why is it so popular around the world? Buddhist monk Shōkei Matsumoto introduces tidying as a full-fledged meditative practice to a broad (including non-Buddhist) audience. He provides an elegant answer to how to ensure enough care for both our home and our soul in today's fast-paced world. After reading The Monk's Guide, it will be clear to you that one does not have to be done at the expense of the other. When we approach the care of the environment in which we live consciously, a remarkable effect occurs: The work we do in the outer world reflects in our inner selves. This is not a new discovery, but rather an idea that ancient Zen masters worked with – among them, the famous Zenji Dōgen. Matsumoto conveys this traditional teaching in a fresh and simple way, allowing us to easily elevate ordinary tidying into a spiritual practice even at home.
