Скачать или смотреть Buddhist Renunciation

The renunciation taught by the Buddha is not based on suppression. In many traditions, asceticism is meant to strengthen the will through inner conflict with one’s natural impulses. We can see this most clearly where the ascetic would literally mutilate his body in order to ‘overcome’ it, whatever that means.
This is something the Buddha tried also. He discovered it does not lead to awakening and liberation. In fact, he said trying to overcome the body is the easiest way to become obsessed by it.
Instead, Buddhist renunciation is based on mindfulness, understanding, and transformation. The end goal is not to become stronger than your instincts and desires. It is to understand them and their consequences. To separate what causes suffering from what alleviates suffering. After that it is just a matter of navigating towards thoughts, words, and actions that lead to the cessation of suffering.
