#non-attachment

Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectation, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.

Give up all desire for fruit; do the work for the sake of the work, because it is good.

The river flows because it does not cling to its banks.

Live with passion, but live without attachment.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

You only lose what you cling to.

He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment.

The bird flies in the sky and leaves no footprint; the sage moves through the world leaving no trace of ego.

Do not kindle the fire of anger to burn your neighbor's roof; the wind will blow the sparks back upon your own house.

The water in the pot reflects the sun; when the pot breaks, the light returns to its universal source.

When the boat is tied to the post of worldly desires, rowing with all your might will not move it an inch forward.

He who rests in the quiet cave of the heart has reached the ultimate sanctuary of freedom.

The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror; it grasps nothing, it refuses nothing, it receives but does not keep.

Receive without pride, let go without attachment.
