The Buddha taught we
perform actions by three ways: deeds, words, and thoughts.
Scratching
your nose is a deed. Saying, “Good morning,” is words. Our
thoughts are all things within the mind.
The Buddha taught all
unwholesome action have their roots, their beginnings, in the Three
Poisons: Desire (or Greed), Anger (or Hatred), and Delusion (or
Ignorance).
Sometimes in the evening, before bed, stop and consider,
“Did I perform an unwholesome act today?”
If the answer is yes,
see if you can find which of the poisons was the geneses of the
unwholesome act.
