Attachment is an often misunderstood concept of Buddhism. Attachment is not about having things or relationships. Attachment is about reacting to things we find pleasant or desirable in such a way that it makes us suffer. In relationships, it is attachment habits that cause many of our problems. Love is the opposite of attachment. Love asks "What can I do to make you happy?" Attachment asks, "What can you do to make me happy?" In the episode we mainly learn to identify attachment and how it is

In Buddhism, confidence is necessary for a person to change deeply for the better. Buddha taught that humans have infinite potential for change. A person who is presently unhappy can become someone with a positive and happy disposition. Someone who is addicted to something can become and stay sober and be an inspiration for others to follow.

Non-virtuous actions create negative karma, which causes our unpleasant experiences-- thus good karma is the creator of
