		Whatever their name, these renunciates have for thousands of years kept alive the wisdom of meditation, and almost all the teachings on meditation in existence owe a debt of gratitude to them.
		Renunciates give their lives to their religious orders, profound spiritual traditions that have continued with great stability for hundreds and often thousands of years.
		You may think you are not vulnerable to renunciate thinking and to their toxic attitudes toward desires and sexuality, but if you ever have a weak moment in which you doubt yourself, the renunciate ideas can enter in like viruses entering your body through a wound.

		The place of high honor which Christianity has accorded to the renunciate throughout most of its history is an important point of contrast with Christianity's sister monotheisms, Judaism and Islam, both of which reject any way of life that entails abandonment of the values and duties of the householder.
		Christian renunciates have frequently questioned whether householders are really Christians at all, and Christian householders for their part have often been more than mildly skeptical of the lofty pretensions of monastics.

	Buddhism as Community Oriented
		In either case, however, the monastic community, the renunciate followers of the Buddha, were dependent upon the lay community for all that they had (as renunciates it would make no sense for them to own much!).
		Buddhism was born out of renunciates, people who completely gave up on society, dropped out, and sought higher realization on their own or under other renunciate teachers.
		There is evidence that with the rise of various schools of thought/religions in ancient India, there was indeed some strain on resources and renunciates needed to compete (to some extent) for food and support.
