Today, the following were discussed in the zoom meeting:
* SN 12.52 - how contemplating/thinking about the danger/harm of the things attached to can reduce or eliminate attachment
* SN 12.52 - how attachment causes sorrow, grief & despair in relation to the aging & death (loss) of what is attached to
* MN 38 - "delight in feelings is attachment"; such as delighting in the beauty or pleasantness of flowers is also attachment
* Buddhadasa - "What we are clinging to is the world itself (https://www.budsas.org/ebud/budasa-handbook/budasa06.htm). In Buddhism the word "world" has a broader connotation than it has in ordinary usage.". It was suggested "the world" is the "social" and "political world" born of attachment; born of self-views.
* Sublimation - transforming unwholesome dhammas, such as aggression & anger, into skillful responses, such as moral assertiveness.
