Non-Attachment Doesn’t Mean Not Caring -- Why Is It Important in Buddhism?

00:00 /

One of the things most people know about Buddhism (and the source of many Buddhist jokes) is the importance of non-attachment. But this quality can so often be misinterpreted. Non-attachment does not mean aloofness, indifference, or lack of caring. Join us in this episode as we talk about what non-attachment is, what some of the misconceptions are, and how non-attachment can lead to happiness.

Featuring Ven Tenzin Chogkyi and Brigitte Reardon (host).
