I have a question regarding friendship and non-attachment. Is it considered wrong or bad in Buddhism to have friends you really care about since Buddhism teaches we shouldn't be attached? For example I love my best friend and I'd hate it if we stopped being friends or something happened to him. I guess my question is what is the Buddhist response to this situation. I guess I'm asking is it wrong or bad to have close friends in Buddhism?
My teacher taught me that friendship, marriage, etc. is all about learning to love. You won't gain anything by letting them go and not being attached to people.
