Let go of attachment to ego and desires from "summary" of Buddha Is as Buddha Does by Surya Das
The concept of letting go of attachment to ego and desires is central to the teachings of Buddha. When we are attached to our ego, we are constantly seeking validation and approval from others. This attachment causes us to constantly compare ourselves to others and feel a sense of lack or inadequacy. We are always striving to be better than others, to have more than others, to be the best. This attachment to ego creates a never-ending cycle of craving and desire. We are always seeking external validation to fill the void within ourselves. We become consumed by our desires, always wanting more and more. This constant craving for external validation and material possessions keeps us stuck in a cycle of suffering. By letting go of attachment to ego and desires, we free ourselves from this cycle of suffering. We no longer seek validation from others or compare ourselves to them. We are able to find peace and contentment within ourselves, without needing external validation to feel whole. When we let go of attachment to ego and desires, we are able to cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment. We are no longer consumed by the need for external validation or material possessions. We are able to be fully present in the moment, without being distracted by our desires. By letting go of attachment to ego and desires, we are able to cultivate a sense of inner freedom. We are no longer controlled by our cravings and desires. We are able to live in alignment with our true selves, free from the constraints of ego and material possessions.
