Buddhists use this word [delusions] in reference to four mistaken beliefs: the belief that something that is impermanent is permanent, the belief that something that is impure is pure, the belief that something that is painful is pleasurable, and the belief that something that has no independent existence has independent existence. All of our delusions can be subsumed under one of these four mistaken beliefs.
