In this inspiring talk, Gen Gomlam explores the difference between love and attachment, revealing how attachment—often mistaken for love—can quietly sabotage our relationships. With warmth and clarity, she shows us that attachment isn’t our ally; it’s actually the hidden poison eroding connection and harmony. But there’s good news: Gen Gomlam introduces a simple shift in mindset that allows us to let go of attachment while deepening genuine love. This transformation feels almost magical, changing the way we see ourselves and others—and opening the door to more joyful, authentic relationships. This is an extract of a talk given at KMC Florida based on the book How to Understand the Mind by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
