Imagine stacking all your belongings, your clothes, books, electronics, furniture, house, car, pictures, everything and setting it on fire. Then imagine owning a robe, a bowl for food, a simple bed and a toothbrush. How might that feel?
It's incredible how attached we get to our 'things' and how much simpler and lighter life would be with less things.
Nowadays though some monks I met had iPhones :) and they labeled them their 6th and final belonging. That's how powerful a role the media plays on our lives.
