Attachment can be defined as a deluded mental factor that observes a contaminated object, regards it as a cause of happiness, and wishes for it. Contaminated object refers to any object that gives rise to delusions or that causes them to increase. Examples contaminated objects are the environments, beings, and enjoyments of samsara. Hence addiction to own urine, snorting baby powder, chewing sticky tape, to our car or even being a big baby etc are merely different examples of attachments. As attachments are a root of samsara and the cause of sufferings, they must be eradicated.
