non-attachment












"When we try to conceive of what it means to overcome our attachments, we imagine cold indifference, dispassionate stoicism, and cruel and unfeeling isolation. 


That is never the outcome of overcoming attachments. That is never the outcome of accepting how things go. That is never the outcome of accepting people as they are. 

The outcome of acceptance, non-attachment, is pure and undefiled love. The love that is compassion: eternal and selfless."
