About Greed

In the context of Dharma, greed is one of the three root poisons or unwholesome roots, along with hatred and delusion. It refers to an intense and selfish desire for material possessions, sensory pleasures, or even non-material things like power or fame. Greed causes attachment and clinging, leading to suffering and dissatisfaction. Overcoming greed through practices such as generosity, ethical conduct, and mindfulness is essential in the Buddhist path towards achieving enlightenment and inner peace.
