According to psychology, attachment can create powerful bonds, but in the Buddhist worldview, attachment is a cause of suffering. It can appear as a sense of infatuation or craving, whether it brings us joy or harm. 
 
To let go of attachment, Buddhist practitioners cultivate the ability to see the world without bias. With discerning wisdom, they acknowledge how attachment clouds their judgment, and they relinquish its grip on their point of view. They reframe their biased responses to everyday encounters and see things from a new vantage point. From this perspective, people can be respected even when they have radically different responses to the same stimuli. Empathy grows when we create space for a multitude of reactions and viewpoints. 
 
Visit the #MandalaLab to practice letting go of attachment with a scent experience meant to reframe your perspective and invite an openness to new ways of thinking. In this clip Ponlop Rinpoche discusses how desire, smell, and discerning wisdom are all connected, especially in the #MandalaLab. 
 
This year the Rubin Museum is exploring the theme of #Reframe: how releasing our attachments to stories, beliefs, and identities that no longer serve us can allow us to reframe our perspective and reimagine the world around us. 
 
Follow along as we #Reframe 2024.
