BUDDHIST STUDY: A teaching I have worked with recently 1

I have not limited myself to new library books, my personally purchased tiny 3-piece Buddhist library, and ACI courses in Buddhism - I have additionally been busy studying online teachings, discussing in various online groups, and trading teachings and friendship with fellow net-practitioners.

One of the more structured recently contemplated teachings was provided at an online Sangha that I joined a year or two ago. I would have to say that not having joined an official 'physical' Sangha, this is my strongest and most reliant base for instruction and study outside of the ACI courses and personal experience/readings/practice.

The thread I was working with was based on a Tibetan teaching of the following root text, known as PARTING FROM THE FOUR ATTACHMENTS:

"With attachment to this life - there is no Dharma practitioner;
Attachment to samsara - no renunciation;
Attachment to self-purpose - no Enlightenment Thought;
If grasping arises - there is no view."

Whereas it would be inappropriate to go into further detail on the proper teachings in a public blog, I will explain my own reaction to these words in my next post.
