    Buddhism's Three Poisons and Ten Defilements

    Mejor cita de Buddhism's Three Poisons and Ten Defilements

    “

    The Buddha's diagnosis of greed, hatred, and delusion as the root causes of suffering gives us a framework for understanding both our private struggles and our collective predicaments. For the human race to flourish in the global age, the inescapable challenge facing us is that of coming to understand and transform ourselves.
