2. Temple Cleaning
Once monks have returned from seeking alms and have finished their meal, their next duty is to sweep the temple grounds. They should sweep from the main chapel, all the way to their quarters.
One might ask what monks gain from sweeping. Cleanliness is the first benefit. All monks must uphold certain standards of cleanliness. There were three main principles espoused by the Buddha in the Ovadapatimokkha.
Firstly, one should avoid all evil deed. Secondly, one should perform wholesome deeds to the utmost of one’s ability. Thirdly, one should purify one’s mind. However, before you can cleanse your mind, you must first cleanse your surroundings. This is the reason why, monks must train themselves to love cleanliness in their everyday life.
