Marie Kondo and Buddhism

Marie Kondo's "KonMari method" to reduce clutter has some resonances with, and some differences from, the teachings of early Buddhism. We'll discuss her method and then look at a passage from an early sutta and what it might tell us about how to go even deeper to reduce mental clutter from our lives.
