Thank you so much for sharing 💟
Sometimes I think happiness is in things/attachment
This causes suffering when it becomes too many things and it becomes overwhelming, burdensome, the upkeep is tiresome, cluttered
Lasting happiness maybe generously and joyfully letting these things go, so they may benefit others, and maybe I have more time and space to practice

I am finding this Bookclub analysis so interesting and enriching. Thank you so much Sarah for sharing the insights you have gleaned from this book. And thank you for speaking at a pace that is not too fast and for repeating key pieces of information several times. This is so crucial for my enjoyment, as there is no 'rewind' on IT and I find I can't keep up when teachers speak too fast. Adept pauses are crucial to allow the important new information to be processed by the (sometimes resistant) grey matter of my brain! I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Thank you again. Namaste xx
