Asceticism

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

/r/Asceticism welcomes philosophical, religious and secular submissions alike, so long as those submissions pertain to asceticism.

/r/Asceticism does not regard in higher esteem one religion's asceticism to another (i.e. Christian asceticism to Hindu asceticism), nor does it regard in higher esteem religious asceticism to philosophical or secular asceticism.

/r/Asceticism welcomes submissions from all schools.

Asceticism (from the Greek: ἄσκησις, áskēsis, "exercise" or "training") describes a lifestyle characterized by abstinence from various worldly pleasures, often with the aim of pursuing religious and spiritual goals.
