A Buddhist Guide to Living Simply | Ajahn Amaro

Ajahn Amaro explains the Buddhist concept of nekkhama - the quality of spiritual renunciation - which involves letting go of attachments, desires, and cravings that lead to suffering. He emphasizes that nekkhama is not about rejecting the world or withdrawing from it, but rather about developing a deep sense of inner freedom and contentment, which can enhance our relationships and our engagement with the world. Ajahn Amaro also explores the relevance of nekkhama in the modern world, where the emphasis on consumerism, materialism, and instant gratification can lead to a sense of disconnection and dissatisfaction.
