Ven. Pomnyun's Answer to "How do I deal with other people suffering from their attachment and greed?” Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Southdale Library, Minneapolis, Minnesota (Sep 12, 2018) Hi. I have studied a lot of different philosophical spiritual practices and religions. I have come to the conclusion that a lot of our sufferings are from fixation of materialism from my understanding. Attachment to things, attachment to homes, attachment to people, attachment to money. At an early age I realized there was more to this world than what you can feel, the tangible, the material. And I always thought I was a seeker of something beyond the material world. When I see people suffering because of materialism, I don’t know how to help them. I don’t know how to help them in their suffering of attachment and seeking materialism, money, greed. I see it in my way coming and I see them suffering because of it. It’s not to say that you don’t need money or things. Obviously everyone needs money and things. Tha
