20.500.12556/DKUM-96097 The puzzle of buddhist non-attachment: a challenge for laypersons This article explores the challenges associated with practicing Buddhist nonattachment as a layperson and whether its application in everyday life represents a puzzle. In Buddhism, practicing non-attachment implies becoming free of desires, as prescribed by Mahayana Buddhist philosophy in pursuit of liberation. This raises a critical challenge to form and maintain friendships in this increasingly competitive and demanding environment. To thrive, one must pursue beneficial goals to ensure a meaningful existence. A layperson, therefore, cannot entirely detach from their goals and aspirations without potentially abandoning the Buddhist path to enlightenment. Thus, non-attachment presents a dilemma for laypersons, creating a challenge in reconciling Buddhist philosophy with the realities of worldly existence. non-attachment laypersons Buddhism desire suffering nenavezanost laiki želja trpljenje true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-12-02 03:10:02 2026-02-24 14:40:42 2026-02-25 03:27:57 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 15 str. št. 3, št. članka 60 Letn. 10 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2025-05-12 2025-05-19 1:24 254595331 10.3390/philosophies10030060 2409-9287 RAZ_Sarkar_Joyitri_2025.pdf RAZ_Sarkar_Joyitri_2025.pdf 1 80626990BE4DAFD0DCCFBFA1ABF3E556 2a2d18d9b66c86fe799e91462f7b825ab0305b669f74708880cbfebf7931e889 c8288ffe-1186-11f1-a1a6-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=203778 https://doi.org/10.3390/philosophies10030060 0 036e489a-cf24-11f0-9f24-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201020 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
