“The philosophy of nonattachment is based in the understanding that holding on too tightly to those things, which in any case are always going to be slipping through our fingers, hurts and gives us rope burn. This is the secret of letting go. Holding on with a control-freak type of grip—as if any of us are really totally in charge—simply keeps us stuck and costs us our freedom. Therefore it is in our higher self-interest to let go a little, as appropriate, and enjoy things as they come and go without overly investing in their permanence or lasting reality.”

“Buddha taught that neither pleasure nor pain are ultimately very satisfying; both are fleeting. No matter how much we have or don't have, we keep seeking satisfaction and fulfillment. We fail to experience contentment.”
