Buddha ... with his philosophy of non-attachment leading to tranquility and an ultimate end to the cycle of samsara, of rebirth and suffering.
(taken from Len's journal)
I'm struck by these words because, as a self-professed anal-retentive person, non-attachment is virtually impossible. My problem has always been that I'm too attached to everything, even the smallest most inconsequential things. That's why my room is filled with clutter. What others would classify as junk I treasure for sentimental reasons.
There are so many things (and people) that I'm unhealthily attached to. But where does one start in the quest for non-attachment? How to let go?
