Oh-is that all! Well, let's get right on it!

I assume this also means we shouldn't be attached to the idea of non attachment :)

Yes. Let's!
I would assume that.
Maybe better to just rest in that which is knowing whether we're attached or not...

Dan,

And that one takes daily practice.

Doing is a manifestation of attachment, and so is intention.

Do you agree with this?

Because all is one we are attached to all else and even inseparable from all else. There is no escaping attachment in this sense.

Thoughts on this point?

You're welcome, Rama!

Don: you want me to think?
And of course, we're doing daily practice one way or the other.
Yes. I agree: Doing is a manifestation of attachment, and vice-versa. And intention is maybe the key point in all of this. No intention to get some specific result out of our 'doing', no attachment. And vice-versa...

Dan:
Forgot this part:
This is using attachment in a different sense, yes, and on the relative level, I suppose there is no escaping it...
But..
