@Buddhistethics@BuddhistGeeks “Renunciation” is a very general and vague category; all ethical systems recommend renouncing some things.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Buddhistethics@BuddhistGeeks (which I covered here: https://meaningness.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/renunciation-in-buddhism/ …) . I could be wrong; are there exceptions?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Meaningness surprised you think Vajrayana rejects renunciation. Escapism, ok. But hello: common preliminaries. Especially for Mahamudra.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@impermanen_ “Escapism” is not a principle of Vajrayana, so far as I know. It *is* the central principle of Sutrayana.
