Hi all,
One theme that recurs often during the pujas, rituals and talks at my template are the concepts of attachment and aversion being the central causes of suffering.
Does anyone have any concrete examples of struggling with letting go of an idea, object, living being or, contrary, struggling with avoiding or pushing away people and ideas that are too difficult recognize and process?
Thanks,
P.

Does she love me? Will he abandon me? Is this true? Is this false? Did I make a bad decision? Have I failed? Is this hopeless? I made progress!!! I won!!! To hell with you! I believe this is right! I believe you are wrong!
Do you see? Every single second it's me vs them. And this is the root problem.
