被贪、嗔、痴愚弄习惯了吗？

In this world of ours, if sentient beings were not deluded, greed, anger, and ignorance would decrease. Consider how many evil karmas generated by greed! If greed were eliminated, those karmic strength would reduce, and anger would diminish as well.

We need to face those who do not understand us with great care. Greed can transform into anger, and anger can transform into greed. For example, someone might say, "I won't be angry if you give me something." When their greed is satisfied, their anger subsides. Greed and anger can transform into each other. When one cannot obtain what they desire and someone obstructs their path to wealth, anger arises, right?

Greed can transform into anger, and anger can transform into greed.

别说别人了，你就对自己的父母亲好了，我要一个玩具，父母亲不满足你的时候，你看这小孩子不得了。小孩子沉溺在这个游戏里面，忽然把灯拉了，把电拉了，马上小孩子“呼”一下就怒火中烧，就会变成嗔。

Let's not talk about others—think about what you do to your own parents. When you ask for a toy and your parents don't satisfy your request, you, the child becomes upset. A child engrossed in a game will immediately burst into anger if the lights are turned off or the power is cut.

Thus, the poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance seem to entwine within our hearts, as if our bodies, our speeches, our minds, our society, our families, and this earth possess a magical power that grips tightly onto our inner selves. Who is the demon? Isn't it something we have created for ourselves? If we were to distance ourselves from greed, anger, and ignorance, our individual karma would diminish, and our connection to shared karma would become smaller. Since we are unable to change shared karma now, we can change our individual karma.
