What comes to mind when reading or hearing the word renunciation? What emotions or feelings arise? Is there an association with happiness? In this week's talk, MOI teacher Anne Savery shares the formula for happiness, mainly through the lens of renunciation. Anne explains that renunciation is often associated with letting go, but the original intention of the Buddhist Pali word means to go forth, pointing to what is gained rather than what one gives up. Anne encourages us to reflect on what we are attached to, what we are willing to renounce, what actually serves us, and what is enough. She then asks us to consider how we could personally benefit from the practice of renunciation. How could renunciation lead to more happiness in life?
