There was little emphasis on material objects. In fact, it was considered more appropriate to purge yourself of all of your material items then it was to collect them. When a person died, the less they left behind,the better they were remembered. All their belongings, everything, was burned with them. In this way, the people did not have to deal with humanity’s four problems, which include Ignorance, Greed, Arrogance, and Jealousy.
