To live simply means to get rid of everything that is not beneficial. From unnecessary worries about the past and the future, from endless attempts to be always productive and remorse if something goes wrong.
Shunmyo Masuno, rector of a 450-year-old Zen Buddhist temple in Japan, believes that to be in harmony with yourself and the world, you don’t have to go to Mount Fuji or move to the ocean.
