Ajahn Amaro, a Theravada Buddhist monk trained in the Thai Forest tradition, teaches on the happiness of renunciation in this talk. The happiness of renunciation may not be something that is immediately obvious. After all, renunciation in the monastic sense is the rejection of worldly beliefs and belongings. We will be giving up something that has been with us practically all our life. No more of the complicated and complex trappings of modern life. But in this talk, Ajahn Amaro teaches us that happiness actually needs to be simple.
Do you agree? Is there happiness in renunciation? Would you do the same if given the chance?
