The Three Poisons


The Buddha taught all our errors, all our unwholesome acts of thought, word, or deed can find their origins in one or more of the Three Poisons.

The Poisons are:

        1...Greed
        2...Hatred
        3...Ignorance

Examine your errors. Examine your unwholesome acts. You will discover it's seed.

Note: In art the Three Poisons are represented by three animals. The Pig represents ignorance. The Snake represents hatred. The Cock represents greed.
