Buddhism practices include taking refuge in the Buddha.
One way of cultivating renunciation taught by the Buddha is the contemplation (anupassana) of the "dangers" (or "negative consequences") of sensual pleasure (kmna dnava)
==== Meditation and insight ====In the Pali canon, the Buddha outlines two meditative qualities which are mutually supportive: samatha (Pli; Sanskrit: amatha; "calm") and vipassan (Sanskrit: vipayan, insight)
