In episode 6, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche discusses the idea of suffering and how we may not always be aware of it. He shares a story from Buddha’s life about attachment being a source of suffering, and how even the things that bring us joy can also cause us to worry and suffer. Rinpoche explains that it is possible to love without attachment, but it takes practice and awareness to separate the two.
