According to Buddhist tradition, the most important parts of the house that should be cleaned are:
Buddhist Altar: It is considered sacred and should be clean and orderly for practicing rituals and meditations.
Meditation Space: It should be clean and free from distractions to allow concentration during spiritual practice.
Bedroom: Maintaining a clean and peaceful environment is essential for ensuring good rest and promoting mental harmony and balance.
Kitchen: The kitchen is considered a sacred place because it is where life-giving food is prepared. It should be clean and organized to avoid food contamination and promote good health. To keep the kitchen clean, it is recommended to tidy up and wash dishes as we cook, and it should be cleaned after each use.
Bathroom: The bathroom is a place where impurities are eliminated from the body. It should be clean and organized to maintain hygiene and promote physical and spiritual well-being. It should be cleaned twice a day, once in the morning and again at night after use.
As many know, Buddhists avoid taking the lives of any living beings, so it is essential to keep areas where animals may accumulate clean before they arrive.
