In the vestibule of a Zen temple, we often see the words "take care of your feet" or "take care of your feet." On the surface, it means "Keep your shoes in order," but there's a deeper meaning to it. For example, some people take off their shoes or put more than one pair of shoes in the hallway in a chaotic way, which, from the Zen point of view, is that the inner world of this person or his (her) family is not in an orderly state. It's not just shoes. The same goes for everyone's desk. Do you have a nice table that you use? In general, people who perform well at their jobs keep their desks beautifully tidy. In other words, a well-organized desk means you have organized your to-do list in your head. If you've ever seen a top chef work, you'll see that they work beautifully. Although they use a lot of ingredients and a lot of cooking utensils in their cooking, by the time they finish a dish, the surroundings are tidy. And, immediately after that, they start preparing for the next course. I think because they can do this, they can become professional chefs.

One person said: "Just look at the table, you can immediately know the chef's skill." I think that's true. Do you find some extra space in your life and want to fill it up with stuff? In my opinion, empty table, put a flower can, had better not be free in the place of newspapers, magazines, cakes and other articles. "See THE SPACE THAT COMES OUT EMPTY EVERY TIME, BE ABOUT TO PUT ARTICLE HERE" BEHAVIOR, IT IS THE CULPRIT THAT MAKES THE HOME BECOME IN DISORDER. When you live in a chaotic environment, your mind will gradually become chaotic before you know it. "Emptiness" refers not only to the actual state of space, but also to our inner state. The emptiness of the physical space can also push us to the emptiness of the mental space. The empty space does not exist so that you can fill it. Because of its existence, our heart can become calm.
