Not Owning Things and Attachment to Happiness
In this episode, the speaker emphasizes the idea that we do not truly own anything, not our belongings, relationships, or property. They suggest that viewing everything as temporary can help us detach our happiness from external things and avoid a sense of loss when they are gone. By valuing things we have control over and focusing on inner peace, true happiness can be achieved. This concept aligns with Buddhist teachings that suffering is caused by attachment to external things.
