Clinging to Suffering?

     “The entire teaching of Buddhism can be summed up in this way:

      Nothing is worth holding on to. 

      If you let go of everything,

     
      Objects
     
      Concepts
            Teachers
            Buddha
            Self
            Senses
            Memories
            Life
            Death
            Freedom 

      Let go and all suffering will cease. The world will appear in its pristine self-existing nature, and you will experience the freedom of the Buddha.”

       Jack Kornfield. “Living Dharma. Teachings of Twelve Buddhist Masters.” Shambhala, 1996.
