I've been practicing vipassana meditation and observing what comes up in my mind. The question occured to me: is remembering a form of clinging? Thank you. Dyana

greetings Dyana

'remembering' is not clinging per se but remembering can certainly be a form of clinging

for example, if someone asks us in our job: "do you remember that lawyer that gave us that really good legal advice because we need to employ him again for a new legal dispute", that remembering is obviously not clinging

but if our mind is returning to and obsessing over events from the past, for no spiritual or beneficial purpose, then that returning to the past will most likely be clinging

kind regards
