Attachment Vs. Love in relationships

Episode # 37 - Attachment vs. love in Relationships

We are all attached to something, whether that be objects or people. The attachment is evident as we grieve or suffer when they are lost or gone from our life. 

As Zen Buddhism teaches - attachment is the root of suffering. 

We have an attachment to our thoughts or even ideas. We clink onto images or even fantasies of how things could be or were (past and future). 

However, when things don’t turn out  the way we dreamt or imagined we cry, morn, or hurt because of the attachments we had to our expectations

This is very common in romantic relationships we have lost.

There is a confusion of attachment vs love. 

Attachments create expectations however, pure true love has no expectations, and therefore love is not attachment. 

In this episode, we examine the two differences in relationships or attachment vs. Love.
