I learn a few lessons from the monks.

First: tidiness and cleanliness have an internal symmetry.

Second: you should measure your day around sunrise and sunset. The early mornings are the most creative time.

The third is tolerance. As Daishi says: “Each of us believes we are right, yet others believe we are not.”
