Review: Nourishing and cleanly written - A long time ago I read a magazine article with a Buddhist-influenced perspective on how one can engage with cleaning as a wholesome, peaceful, enjoyable activity, instead of a drudgery to be avoided or rushed through, and it always stuck with me. So I immediately purchased this book after hearing about it on a mental health forum. I enjoyed that it explained the perspective of a Buddhist monk and offered its advice in clean direct prose, without bloating the volume with unnecessary anecdotes or tangents. I enjoyed how he named all the traditional garments and tools and the sources he himself uses. The book has the feel of someone genuinely relaying how it works at the temple, the day to day situations that occur, and how they are responded to. In this way it feels like learning from your grandmother, why she does things the way she does things, after a lifetime of experience. I like to leave the book out and pick it up to re-read sections when I am feeling overwhelmed or lost. I find that other people are attracted to reading bits out of it too. It's a very good book to recommend to others because it isn't a huge commitment to read the whole thing, and you get a lot of good out of reading even a few pages.
Review: Love this little book - This is a lovely guide to practicing joy and mindfulness in cleaning and maintenance of your self and home. Although not everything is directly relatable for many people, as most do not live in a Buddhist temple, all of the principles can be applied by anyone in life. In the short time it took me to read this book, I started making small changes in my approach to cleaning and already have notified a huge difference in how I view "chores" and my mindset when completing them. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to redefine their relationship with housekeeping and taking care of themselves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Book
*by M***S on January 11, 2025*

I enjoyed this book, it was concise and informative. It had a lot of ideas that I would not practice because it is so different from the way I do things as a westerner. For example, I do the wash once a week, ironing, folding and putting everything away. Washing clothes daily would make no sense. But the spirit of how we do things is what is important and this book helps me to keep this in mind as it is the priority.
