Should You Practice Non-Attachment With Those Closest to You?

Details

Description

The practice of non-attachment to all things is at the heart of Buddhism. How can we work with such a practice though when it comes to those closest to us: our friends and family? We will consider this problem and how in fact a non-attached approach may actually be the healthiest and most skillful even in these situations.
