"Clinging” (Upadana): Clinging refers to the act of holding onto something or someone, whether it be people, objects, or experiences. It is an emotional bond that creates a sense of incompleteness when we are separated from those things we cling to. Clinging can lead to suffering, and understanding how to let go of clinging can help to reduce suffering and increase inner peace.
