In Buddhism attachment is often seen as the root cause of suffering and non-attachment is seen as the solution. In classical Buddhism this took the form of monastic communities. Obviously, this is not the solution for lay practitioners. So, what is the understanding of non-attachment that is helpful for lay-practitioners? This talk discusses how dwelling in non-abiding awareness is the form of non-attachment that liberates us from attachment and therefore suffering. The core form of attachment is attachment to egoic self. The egoic self doesn’t have to die – only our attachment to the egoic self.
