Gautama Buddha

We attach not only to physical things,
but also to ideas and opinions about ourselves and others.
These attachments we are so anxious not to loose give rise to suffering for nothing is permanent,
everything changes and disappears eventually,

The attachments are based on the egocentric views,
the “me” and the “mine”.

and frees us from our enslaving desires and addictions to sensual and emotional pleasures, Non Attachments akin to freedom, equanimity and serenity.
