quote:"Buddhism involves letting go of attachments but what about their houses and superannuation funds... to which he replies if you let go of those for which you have worked hard then you are letting go of your intelligence and that isnt Buddhism" ).
Letting go has little to do with intelligence or means of material acquisition and may be necessary for a person to rid themselves of these things if it creates a barrier to self realization, but would be dependent on individual mind-set.
