Greetings Josef,

"Detachment is a central concept in Zen Buddhist philosophy. One of the most important technical Chinese terms for detachment is "wu nian" (��O), which literally means "no thought." This does not signify the literal absence of thought, but rather the state of being "unstained" (bu ran �s�R) by thought. Therefore, "detachment" is being detached from one's thoughts. It is to separate oneself from one's own thoughts and opinions in detail as to not be harmed mentally and emotionally by them.[4]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-attachment

It seems to me, the little bit of detachment I've experienced has filled me with a great sense of freedom.

Being a unfilled vessel, maybe that's why i have a hole in the bottom, allows for fulfillment without being full.

in peace,
gar
