LEARN - (Chapter 8) - Transforming The Three Poisons: Greed, Hatred, and Delusion
Gotama Buddha’s teachings to eliminate, greed, hatred, and delusion are known, for good reason, as The Three Poisons, The Three Unwholesome Roots, and The Three Fires. Also known as, craving, anger, and ignorance.
These are The Three Poisons that exist and are present in the mind as part of rebirth into the human realm. It is our goal, through these teachings, to eliminate these three poisons through practice of non-greed or generosity, non-hatred or loving-kindness, and non-delusion or wisdom. To attain Nibbana, one would need to completely eliminate The Three Poisons.
These metaphors suggest how dangerous afflictive thoughts and emotions can be if they are not understood and transformed.
The poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion — mask our true nature, the awakened mind of wisdom and compassion. These poisonous states of mind than motivate non-virtuous and unskillful intentions, speech, and actions, which produces unwholesome Kamma.
In this Podcast, David will help you understand The Three Poisons, how they cause you problems in life and how to eliminate them from the mind.
