Publisher's Synopsis
«The day of a monk begins with cleaning. The interior of the temple, the garden, and the floor of the main hall are swept. But we do not clean because it is dirty or messy, but to rid the spirit of any shadow that clouds it.» With the Cleansing Manual of a Buddhist Monk, Keisuke Matsumoto offers us a text that combines with grace and exquisitely Zen lightness, practical advice and philosophical and spiritual reflections.
