略說三毒 (A Brief Discussion on the Three Poisons)

本來標題想寫三毒之愛恨情仇

雖然筆者本來就不是什麼正經的腳色

尤其是看久了更能確信

即使如此

後來想想還是算了

該嚴肅還是必須要嚴肅

什麼是三毒?

貪、嗔、癡

都是屬於不善心所

忘記有哪些的點這裡複習

要觀察這三者的相互關係

看小孩就行了

或是想想自己小時候

是不是想要玩具時

父母不給買就開始哭鬧

哭鬧久了

還是得不到想要的

是不是又更想要得到了 ??

被哭鬧跟想要輪流操縱而不自知

先前文章提到的種種不善心所

其實有高僧大德們整理

簡化為貪心族群、嗔心族群、癡心族群

而三者間的交互作用如上

因緣成熟的讀者看到這，就會想起來了

想不起來的，沒關係的

先種因吧

只是時間還沒到

會明白的

願各位幸福無煩惱

=====================================

Originally, I wanted to title this article "The Love, Hate, and Conflicts of the Three Poisons" .

Since I’ve never really been a serious person—especially after observing myself for a long time—I can confirm this even more.

However, after some thought, I decided against it. When it comes to serious matters, a serious tone is necessary.

What Are the Three Poisons?

The Three Poisons  refer to lobha ( greed), dosa ( hatred), and moha (delusion). They are all classified as unwholesome mental factors .

For those who need a refresher, you can review the previous articles.

Observing the Three Poisons in Action

To observe the interaction of these three, just look at children—or reflect on your own childhood.

When a child wants a toy but their parents refuse to buy it, they cry and throw a tantrum.

If they keep crying but still don’t get what they want, does their desire for the toy increase even more?

At that moment, they are being controlled by both craving and aversion, without realizing it.

The Three Poisons as Mental Forces

The various unwholesome mental states discussed in previous articles have been categorized by great noble teachers into three major groups:

• The Lobha Group  – Driven by attachment and desire.
• The Dosa Group  – Fueled by anger and aversion.
• The Moha Group  – Rooted in ignorance and delusion.

The interplay of these three forces operates just like the example above.

When the Time is Right

For those whose causes and conditions have matured, upon reading this, you may suddenly recall similar experiences.

For those who can’t recall, don’t worry.

Just keep planting the seeds—the time will come.

May everyone  be happy and free from suffering.
