I read the following comment on the internet ([reference](https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/82510/discussion-on-answer-by-dhammadhatu-if-buddhists-believe-that-life-is-just-suffe)) : > *By existing you are attached to this reality. If I die then I won't exist according to Buddhism. Therefore I won't be attached to reality. > How then does killing yourself not free yourself from attachment? How > can I possibly be attached to reality if I am dead? How was the Buddha > free from attachment if he wrote a book and made a religion? That > means that he was attached to reality. You can only be not attached to > reality if you don't exist.* Is the existence of life a form of attachment? Is the teaching of the Dhamma (of non-attachment) a form of attachment?
