Attachment Advice from insight-meditation Master Ajahn Chah
Wherever the mind (heart) has a lot of attachment (clinging), we will experience intense suffering, intense grief, intense difficulty right there.

The place we experience the most problems is the place we have the most attraction, longing, and concern.

Please resolve this. NOW, while we still have life and breath, let's keep on looking at it and [dispassionately] reading it until we are able to translate it [into transcendent wisdom] and solve the problem [of suffering].

Emotional Mastery: The Gifted Wisdom of Unpleasant Feelings


(TEDx) What often blocks people from feeling capable in life and from having greater success with finances, health, and relationships is how they handle unpleasant feelings.

Emotions are a very strange thing.
Psychologist Joan Rosenberg unveils an innovative strategy [that sounds a lot like it all begins with Buddhist mindfulness, which is unreactive-attention to what is without distorting or trying to make it be another way] and surprising keys for experiencing the challenging emotions that lie at the heart of confidence, emotional strength, and resilience.
