“Life is a daily training ground, and we are each composed of the very actions we take in life. If you live carelessly, your mind will become soiled, but if you try to live conscientiously, it will slowly become pure again. If your heart is pure, the world looks brighter. If your world is bright, you can be kinder to others.”
― Shoukei Matsumoto, A Monk’s Guide to A Clean House & Mind
