Rich Buddhist / Poor Buddhist: Poverty Is Not Renunciation

This is an important and misunderstood topic, especially in the West. Stories of wandering yogi saints surviving on nothing and the site of monks dominate the mind. Many people mistake a lack of money and poverty as renunciation. Khentrul Rinpoche explains how this is very far from reality. You can be a rich renunciate Buddhist. There is nothing holy or unholy about money. What makes money beneficial or bad is the intention and how it is used.

YEARS of confusion, fear and guilt because I didn’t understand this. In every talk or teaching I’ve received on renunciation over the last 1+ decade, no one has ever explained this. It was always a very cut and dry explanation of what renunciation is and the unfavorable results of not practicing it…and never being told how to!
This talk is a wonderful explanation and invitation. Thank you!

Thank you, Rinpoche!
