In this insightful discussion, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche elaborates on the concept that attachment and aversion are like two sides of the same coin. He explains that attachment, the desire to possess and cling to things, and aversion, the strong dislike or avoidance of certain things, are interconnected.
When we have excessive attachment, it often leads to aversion when our desires are not fulfilled. Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of finding a skillful middle path in dealing with these emotions to achieve inner peace and happiness.
