This podcast discusses the role of renunciation in undertaking a

Buddhist practice and the difference between renunciation and

asceticism. It discusses how renunciation can show up our attachments

and the hindrances to meditation, enable us to note the three marks of

transience, unsatisfactoriness and non-self and finally, bring us to

the realisation of nibbana.

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquility.
