The Blessing of Renunciation
The Buddha often referred to the blessing of renunciation as the cleansing of the mind and heart. There's a delight in just being with monks or nuns who are well established in the monastic lifestyle. We can practice renouncing complexity. So both here on retreat and also in your life at home when things just feel too complex, too stressful, too confused. Remember the possibility of renouncing the habit of papanja (the proliferation of the I-Me mind story)
