THE PATH BEYOND ATTACHMENT

"He who has no attachment whatsoever for mind and body, who does not grieve for what he has not, and does not yearn for what he does not have—such a one I call a true seeker."
—The Buddha, Dhammapada 221

What binds us is not the world itself, but the way we hold onto it. The Buddha teaches that true freedom is found not in what we own or achieve, but in what we release. The one who does not grieve for what is lost nor craves for what is missing is not trapped by the cycle of suffering.

Non-attachment does not mean indifference; it means meeting life with openness rather than grasping. When we are attached to outcomes, to status, or even to our identities, we create suffering. But when we let go, we move freely, unburdened by what we once thought defined us.

Take a moment to reflect: What attachments create tension in your life? What do you fear losing? In stillness, observe these clinging thoughts and ask—who would you be without them? In that space, you may find not emptiness, but a vast sense of freedom waiting to be uncovered.
