Meditation On Attachment, A Thief That Steals Our Happiness

Venerable Thubten Samten begins this meditation with a quote, “When we don’t think about death, we are overwhelmed by the attachments to this life.”

This guided meditation uses the example of one person to whom we are attached. We may easily mistake this person as the source of any happiness we experience. We build unrealistic expectations towards them and may even do things we later regret, fueled by our clinging attachment towards them. Use this brief meditation to see that the mind of attachment leads us away from the peace of mind we seek – It is like a thief, stealing our happiness.

Reviews

There were longer periods of silence than expected although maybe it was necessary for those to help one realize sometimes silence is needed to help see how much they are attached to a different way of thinking.

Thank you so much for these profound reflections 🙏🙏🙏

Thankyou
