So well said. You are able to teach Buddhist principles in such an eloquent way and I so appreciate that. Non-attachment is a tough one for me. But to cling to something just isn’t worth it. What have I really gained by forcing, arguing or cajoling? Not a thing. Having not come to full enlightenment yet…I work on this principle daily.
Do you have some thoughts on how to practice non-attachment with regard to a world that sometimes seems to be falling apart, and that’s responsible world citizens we feel an obligation to pay attention to: Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, the dismantling of the liberal post World War II western alliances and so much more, of course. Of course I can’t control any of this, but I am still very concerned. I seem to find the only way is to not pay any attention, but that makes me feel guilty.
Beautiful - and I notice I want to attach to it by saving it to my notes 🤣. Just sitting with that feeling 🙏
Many, many thanks for this beautiful piece. Such a beautiful reminder.
