Methods of Contemplation

Thirst/Tanha


Listen Later

This is a short musing about the concept of thirst and attachment as it relates to religious traditions and spirituality.
Let go or get dragged.
A pretty harsh statement to say the least. But it is our craving, our thirst, our attachments or tanhā that lead to suffering. But there is an end to suffering. And one aspect of the means to that end is to let go. This can be likened in the Christian tradition to the kenosis of Christ; the emptying of oneself. When we do this, we slip below our superficial personality to be conformed into the image of the Son, or to recognize our Buddha nature. So it is really up to us.
Will we cling to our suffering?
Or will we let it go?
