Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) studying content structure and dharma principles of Upadana found in Buddhism 2) examining, in accordance with Buddhist principles, ways to release methods for releasing prejudice according to Buddhism and 3) suggesting guidelines for applying techniques and methods for relaxation dharma principles according to Buddhism in day-to-day life. This research was documentary research.

The results of this research found that:

1. A desire that intensifies and turns into clinging, obsessive behaviors, or clutching because it is linked to oneself is called clinging. People get lustful when they don't get what they desire. Once you have what you require, you either cling to it with preconceived ideas or cling to your own wishes.
2. The attachment to identity that results from interdependent circumstances and the conformity to behavioral and practice patterns to achieve desired outcomes are common in the lives of regular people. When preconceived conceptions emerge in everyday life for example, when one encounters the satisfying and unsatisfying quality of the world ordinary people are often unhappy. As a result, people have predetermined beliefs that cause them to reject things that are unsatisfactory and cling to what is.
3. Thus, they suppress feelings of stress, resentment, rage, and retribution in society—or even in cases of physical illness and misery. All natural situations, whether pleasant or not, change, and when a person clutches onto these occurrences with desire and preconceived beliefs, preventing them from seeing the truth that is happening, misery will result in life. It is not a necessary self to cling to since it is ever-changing. Even though people are not entirely free from all defilements and suffering, it can be claimed that the Noble Eightfold Path is a very significant and useful technique.
