This talk explores renunciation as a practice of "letting in" rather than "letting go." Yong shares personal experiences with caregiving and grief, emphasizing that true liberation comes through refuge and love. He suggests that renunciation isn't about forcing ourselves to release attachments, but about creating safety through refuge so that letting go happens naturally.
