Love but not Attachment

Send us Fan MailHow do we negotiate the Buddha's teachings on craving and clinging with our deep love of family and friends?   What is the difference between true love and "attached love," and when does attached love lead to dukkha?   This is an ongoing question.  The Buddha did expect monastics to be celibate and to leave their families but he did not expect this of householders.   Later traditions had other options.   Still, the teaching asks us to beware of love based on attachment and clinging.Support the showGo to our website to leave a comment, buy us a coffee, or see further notes and links:  https://digginthedharma.com/
