More about Attachment & Having an Open Heart - Lawudo Trek (Part 2 of 2)
This session with Ven. Robina follows on to explore attachment in more detail, as well as renunciation, dependent arising and having an open heart. She says, attachment is very primordial and can manifest as as possessiveness, manipulation, controlling, expectations, addictions. We need to start to work with attachment and aversion by controlling our body, speech and mind. "Attachment doesn't like when we see our own crazy mind. We need to learn to counteract that, and be glad to see our crazy minds. And learn to live wiht it and be kind to ourselves about it. Rather than wishing it would go away, because that is naive."

Something To Think About Series #264 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin
Venerable Robina Courtin weaves a tapestry of modern Buddhist commentary as she illuminates this ancient spiritual path with humor, wit and intensity. This Buddhist program aims to give every listener an opportunity to ponder some of life’s deepest questions such as:
“Why do bad and good things happen? Is it karma? How can I overcome insecurity and start to care deeply for other beings? Can I lessen my depression and fears? Is reincarnation real? What is the mind? Exactly what is enlightenment?
A Buddhist nun since the late 1970s, Robina Courtin has worked since then with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, a worldwide network of Tibetan Buddhist activities of Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinopche. She has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala magazine, and executive director of Liberation Prison Project. Her life, as well as her work with prisoners, has been featured in the documentary films “Chasing Buddha and Key to Freedom”.
