Attachment

It is true that the basis for all our difficulties in life is attachment, and although these words are easy to say, understanding this at a more profound level takes time and a dedicated Dhamma effort. In other words, to be free from suffering we have to want to be free from suffering! This sounds obvious, but we actually hold on to the causes of the pain in our life with both hands, and rationalise and justify everything we do.

The solution of course is Love, first for yourself and then for the object of the attachment.

Whatever the question, Love is the answer, but again, understanding this takes time and effort as Love is such a subtle truth to realise.

Without a teacher we can wander around in a New Age wilderness for all our life. It is important to have someone who not only cares for us, but is able to show the way to liberation.

May all beings be happy.
