【The Origin of Suffering】- Specific definition of an affliction – Attachment (2) 

The characteristic of attachment is a state such that you enjoy what you find pleasant, that it would be unbearable for you to be apart from it and that you would find it difficult to part with. That's how your mind would be! That's the characteristic of attachment. So when our attachment arises normally, you can do absolutely nothing about it. And this characteristic of attachment is something that you cannot seem to see exactly, but it is ever present. Oh, that's how it is. This is not only the case where we say we want to look at something pleasant, eat something delicious, do something fun, have lots of money and so on. For anything before you, you will naturally feel that you have to choose something better, "Ah, when you are tired, you have to lie down. When you are a little dissatisfied, you will think... It all concludes down to all sorts of "self" clinging. That's the characteristic.

希求解脱 : 烦恼别相-贪 2

这个贪的行相就是对你自己所缘的欢喜它，不忍分离、难分难解的状态，心里边就是这样！这个就是贪的行相。所以平常当我们贪心生起来，你简直一点办法都没有。而且这个贪心的行相啊，你真正看好像看不见，但是随时随地都在。哦，这样，不但是我们经常说外面好看的、好吃的、好玩的、有钱什么等等，眼前一切的东西，你自然而然觉得眼前有个东西总归选好的；唉呀，累了就要去躺；碰见一点小的不如意呀就想……总归对这个“我”产生种种的耽着，这就是这个行相。
