How to practice non-attachment

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The best and flexible way of living is non-attachment aka non-grasping. How to practice non-attachment?

Non-attachment is much harder than it sounds.

Ten people received life sentences Saturday for terrorism in deadly attacks on government offices in Dak Lak last year, according to a court verdict for 100 defendants in the case.

Among the defendants, aged 18-56, 53 people were charged with “terrorism against the people’s government.” Among them, H Wuen Eban and Y Sol Nie’s behaviors were considered to be especially dangerous, being the masterminds who coaxed others into attacking the People’s Committee offices in Ea Ktur and Ea Tieu communes in the Central Highlands province, resulting in nine deaths.

Both received life sentences from the Dak Lak People’s Court. Prosecutors previously recommended them death sentences.

Real estate lost its attractiveness and was not the leading asset class in 2023, according to the Vietnam Association of Realtors.

Speaking at the 2024 real estate forum organized in Hanoi last Friday by the association, its president, Nguyen Van Dinh, said: “The fall of real estate stemmed from uncontrolled development and lack of transparency and safety in the market over a long period of time.”

Between May 2022 and the end of 2023 the property market saw thousands of projects being suspended and many businesses shutting down with 80% of brokers quitting their jobs.
