Most broadly, renunciation can be understood as a letting go of whatever binds us to ignorance and su ering. The Buddha taught that genuine renunciation requires thoroughly perceiving how we make ourselves unhappy by grasping and greediness. When we can let go of such things it is liberating. The Buddha said, “If, by forsaking a limited ease, he would see an abundance of ease, the enlightened man would forsake the limited ease for the sake of the abundant.” (Dhammapada, verse 290).

Drupon Thinley Ningpo will provide teachings and advice on attaining renunciation, or liberation from ignorance and su ering. We hope you can join us for this one day event.
