Aparigraha

APARIGRAHA 

 

Aparigraha ( Non-possessiveness )

Aparigraha is non-covetousness.

 

This involves being happy and content with what we need and not always coveting unnecessary and luxury items.
To possess more than we need is a violation of this precept.

 

Note that aparigraha includes the notion of not accepting gifts that would bind us to the giver.
