123 Non-Attachment - "The Great Way"

How is non-attachment possible? Short of repression we only will let go if we trade for something better. The ultimate non-attachment, therefore, is only possible in Awakening. In Oneness, we are All. Everything has become us.

The story about the Abbott recounted as heard on a podcast by Jack Kornfield. Thank you!

From my contemplation 19 on my website.

This is a great one to return to again and again. It’s so easy in this human existence, especially with the human ego to attach to something without even realizing it. I especially love being attached to preferences. I will pay attention to that… Thank you, William. 🧡🌞💛🧡🌞💛🧡🌞💛

Love the gentle humor that invites us to look at our attachment with more compassion.

I sure have a lot of letting go to let go! I think I would need to live in a monastery to accomplish this! Now I'm going to have a hard time letting go of this meditation!

Guided back to this podcast today, also the zen farmer story. Always grateful to you William 🙏

A wonderful contemplation, thank you. 🙏🏼 I loved the story about asking the monk, “Happy?” “No.” “Ahhh, attached.” That was powerful and will stick with me. ❤️
