So do you know what attachment is? What does it feel like to be obsessed, to be really attached to views or opinions or people or places? To the extent that you feel very anxious or angry if they're ever threatened or you worry because "this" changes or "this" might be threatened? And you feel yourself going crazy with resentment or anger? That's attachment! And that very attachment, we're not trying to get rid of it but to understand it, know it, feel it, experience it so then we can know what we’re talking about. You know. And then your letting go isn't through aversion or fear about attachment, it's through understanding and through realising non-attachment is like "this." Non-attachment is cool and it's joyful. I notice I get a lot of joy from monastic life when there's no attachment to it. When I start attaching to anything in this monastic system then I don't get much joy out of this life. I could blame the monastic life, blame others but then I know better. I know that if I'm experiencing monastic life as onerous or difficult or hard or whatever, then it's because of an attachment I have. Where is that? What am I attached to, then, that's making my life so joyless and so miserable? And then I try to see, investigate there. So tonight is the Observance night, and its very auspicious to have Ajahn Sucitto and the monks and nuns from Cittaviveka with us. The value of the Sangha is of providing encouragement and of the underlying support of a common goal with a common tradition and form that we can use. Our Dhamma-Vinaya is something that we have in common despite any differences in terms of character or nationality. So we have an opportunity to practise together and discuss practice for the next few days. We stay up until midnight tonight. You are all invited to participate.
