"苦しみの根源は執着です。"
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
When we hold on too tightly to things, people, or ideas, we often set ourselves up for pain. Imagine you get a brand new phone that you love. If you become too attached to it, you might feel very upset if it breaks or gets lost. This idea applies to many parts of life. For example, if you cling to a specific relationship and it ends, the heartbreak can be much worse. Or if you are too attached to always being right, you might feel stressed or angry whenever someone disagrees with you. The advice here is to appreciate things without becoming so attached that losing them causes you great pain. This mindset can help reduce suffering and make it easier to let go when things change.
