Nonattachment. The virtue of equanimity, one of the byama-so taya,
cultivates an attitude of “nonattachment.” According to Buddhist teaching,
as noted above, attempting to cling to what is impermanent drives
one’s suffering. When asked by one of his disciples why conflict happens
between religious practitioners, the Buddha responded: “Ascetics
fight with each other because of attachment to views” (Anguttara
Nikaya).
