Attachment is the loss of freedom . . .
Non-attachment is freedom . . .
Our destiny is to be free.

Quote of the Day

Everybody has had transcendent wisdom break into the mind.When you’ve wracked your brain with a problem for a long time and then, for some reason, you’ve stopped struggling, and then all of a sudden you got an "Aha! That’s it," where does that come from?Wisdom has broken through.
