Let Go Of Attachment And Aversion: A Buddhist Practice

This short Buddhist course explores attachment and aversion: clinging to what you want and fighting what you dislike. The first lesson explains both habits in plain language. The second turns the idea into a compassion practice you can repeat when either pattern begins to tighten its grip. It is a focused introduction, not a complete course on Buddhism and not a promise of permanent inner peace. Come back when you notice yourself grasping, resisting or pushing another person away.

Short, simple and well explained! I really appreciated this primer on Buddhist practice and the difference between eastern and western philosophy.

I’m reminded of tong-Len practice, and the deep feeling of peace that comes from envisioning taking on others’ problems and sending them relief. It’s a powerful and rewarding practice.

I’m still processing this technique, I know it will be helpful but I am not sure I can remember.

Excellent mini course! I enjoyed it following the radical gratitude course. Its all made me curious so I've been doing some reading on different philosophies including Buddism, Toaism and now Stocicism. It's so amazing to see how they they view life from different perspectives and such treasure to be found in each one. I've also done some meta meditation, loving kindness, over the last year but this gives me the practical tool to use it in real time, as life is happening. And now, understanding I can tap into that same compassion during challenging times is so profound! Thank you Jon!

This is really informative. Really enjoying this class so far.
I learned I can envision someone else with the problems I have and take there’s.

Definitely a course to revisit. Loads packed into two sessions.

This was very interesting & makes sense to me. I look forward to using this technique as well as sharing this course with loved ones. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Excellent. This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Recognizing my procrastination through escapism in spiritual techniques and using overdoing that (and anything seeming positive) creates imbalance. This course got me going this morning to take action on my tasks instead of placing my tasks for today behind hours of meditation, yoga and workout. This course was extremely helpful and educational.

And Now I understand the difference between western culture’s “mindfulness” vs. eastern’s “meditation”. How compassion can be practiced and benefited mentally without speaking a word aloud to anyone is an incredible concept I am fully confident will change my life and others’ lives for the better.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. You are making the world a better place.

Such a simple yet super powerful way to understand compassion and easy technique to follow everyday. Thank you.

This course offers a lot to think about in two lessons. I will need to repeat them for further understanding. Thank you. 🌺🌸

This returned me to two key points in Buddhism I had lost track of - attachment and aversion - and how they can lead to suffering. I think the suggestions are helpful and could overtime assist in increasing happiness by way of calmness for example. But I will need to adapt them to cope with my main personal problems which are bad habits and intolerance. These need something stronger to reverse but there are roots in this practice.

So simple but so profound. I liked how the teacher explained it making it a point to practice sharing joy and reducing pain by taking on even in own imagination someone's burden.

Very well explained. Being a beginner in learning these concepts, I am glad that I could understand easily and will be able to practice the techniques described. Thank you.

Love this. Definitely helpful. I struggle with obsessive thinking. Thanks for sharing

Thank you gained of lot of insight & will try some of these techniques ❤️

This is enlightening. I will listen again and again and work these practices into my everyday struggles and satisfactions. What a great way to approach being human and wanting to help others, people and animals too, and be happy myself. Thank you very much🧡

New perspective for me. As an HSP, this helps in explaining things past and present. Thank you so much for the insight.

What a powerful concept and so we’ll articulated. It will be very interesting to see how this evolves my self compassion as I practice. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences 🙏🏽 I will definitely practice compassion towards myself more and I am looking forward to using these short visualizations when I’m feeling low vibrations. Lokah samasta sukino bhavantu 🙏🏽

Wow. This was packed to the seams with sage wisdom. Much gratitude to you, Jon. I’ll definitely be integrating the techniques to increase compassion and lessen my attachment/adversion. 🙏
