The Venerable guided the practice of letting go to the mass.

 

Practicing Buddhism, practitioners need to develop a mind of letting go, practice letting go to have great achievements. Letting go is wisdom, practitioners need to realize the suffering and pain come from greed, selfishness, sadness, anger that let go. Let go of attachment to materials and wealth without being too dependent on them. Being aware of everything in life is impermanent and selfless, knowing what needs to be let go and daring to let go at the right time, then surely everyone's life will avoid much suffering. Only when the mind and body are freed from burdens one can have freedom and ease.
