To Cling To and To Let Go

Rinpoche gave this discourse in February 1992

Introduction
‘To Cling To’ and ‘To Let Go’ are just the opposites of each other; semantically speaking, ‘To Cling To’ is wrong and ‘To Let Go’ is right.
Main Speech
●		I knew a woman who worked strenuously day and night to earn a living through a small business. She finally bought a house from her hard-earned savings and had sufficient deposits in the bank, but she still refused to stop and rest. One day, on her way to open the shop, she inadvertently fell down and became unconscious, yet she tightly clung to the monetary bag of change for the business in her hand, and would not let go.
		Her family went to the hospital to visit her, said, “What’s the point of all this?  What if, by remote chance, something bad happened to you, your husband might marry another woman, what would you do then?  Is it worth it? ” She couldn't speak, only tears fell.
		This is a realistic story of modern society.

Epilogue
1.	Everyone may laugh at this woman and the blind person for being so silly and stupid; however, in this world, are there not many people who are the same as her/him, who stubbornly grab onto certain things and refuse to let go ! The only difference is that the things we hold onto are not the same.
2.	Sometimes, our Guru gives discourses on how we should let go of certain matters and how not to be ‘self-stubborn’. We do not listen. When we finally awaken, there are often two phenomena that can happen: we are no longer by the side of our Guru!  Or our Guru has entered Nirvana!!
3.	One of the precepts of Theravada Buddhism is that monks/nuns are not allowed to carry cash on the street. Therefore, when a monk/nun needs to go out, he/she asks a lay disciple (called ‘pure’ person) to help him/her carry money. If we are not monks/nuns who strive for virtue and leave the home, it is also unnecessary for us not to carry money, or to ask someone to help us carry our money. If we are able to hold back and let go (that is, not to cling to and not to overindulge), we have already done quite well.
4.	Perhaps money is the object that people find it the easiest to let go, but there are other things that make people cling to more than money. To be able to cling to and to let go is easier said than done!
