Summary of Shunmyo Masuno's The Art of Simple Living

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first step toward creating a simple life is to make time for emptiness, for not thinking about anything. When you are not distracted by other things, your pure and honest self can be revealed. #2 When we are short on time, we automatically say that we are busy. But when we feel this way, our mind becomes even more hectic.
Waking up fifteen minutes earlier than usual magically liberates you from busyness. #3 Buddhist monks who practice Zen live long lives. The first zazen practice of the day, kyoten zazen, is done to nourish your mind and body by breathing in the beautiful morning air. #4 When you come home, take off your shoes and line them up neatly by the front door. Just this one thing can beautify your life.
It takes only three seconds, but by practicing it, you will be able to see everything about your life become more orderly and sharp.
