My dear Element and dear Andy,


Buddha says attachement is the cause of dukkha.This seems correct but, in some cases, not always. For instance cancer patient did not have any attachment that will cause this result as a dukkha. A child born with an birth defect did not have time to attach anything to cause this dukkha. A birth defect is a dukkha for sure.

Attachment is not dukkha, first of all one should know this truth. Attachements in reality and mostly are enjoyable, but as a result they might give you dukkha. Therefore if Buddha has said that attachment was dukkha, this can not be right. Because mostly all the attachments give peleasure. That's why people attach themselves to these...

But if you have these pleasure for a long time at the end they will show their result as a dukkha. For insatance take gambling or drug addiction etc ...

What Bothi saying is this; without having any attachment, people having many dukkhas, so you can not show me any attachment that is causing to these of the dukkhas as I have given the examples above.

I also love Buddha but, Buddha was a human too.

Lets all be mindfull,
