Able Quote by Sharon Salzberg

“To remember non-attachment is to remember what freedom is all about. If we get attached, even to a beautiful state of being, we are caught, and ultimately we will suffer. We work to observe anything that comes our way, experience it while it is here, and be able to let go of it.” quote by Sharon Salzberg — Download Open image
