The three poisons (Sanskrit: ''triviṣa''; Tibetan: ''dug gsum'') or the three unwholesome roots (Sanskrit: ''akuśala-mūla''; Pāli: ''akusala-mūla''), in Buddhism, refer to the three root kleshas of ignorance, attachment, and aversion. These three poisons are considered to be the cause of suffering (Sanskrit: ''dukkha''). ==Brief description== In the Buddhist teachings, the three poisons (of ignorance, attachment, and aversion) are the primary causes that keep sentient beings trapped in samsara. These three poisons are said to be the root of all of the other kleshas.〔Daniel Goleman (2003), pages 106, 111〕〔Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen (2010), p. 451.〕 The three poisons are represented in the hub of the wheel of life as a pig, a bird, and a snake (representing ignorance, attachment, and aversion, respectively).〔 As shown in the wheel of life (Sanskrit: ''bhavacakra''), the three poisons lead to the creation of karma, which leads to rebirth in the six realms of samsara. Of these three, ignorance is the root poison. From ignorance, attachment and aversion arise.〔Ringu Tulku (2005), p. 30.〕〔Dalai Lama (1992), p. 4, 42〕〔Sonam Rinchen (2006), p. 8-9.〕〔Dzongsar Khyentse (2004), p. 3.〕 In the Buddhist traditions, it is believed that the three poisons are the cause of both physical and mental illness. Geshe Tashi Tsering states. In Tibetan medicine, it is believed that the three poisons obscure the flow of the energetic wind (Tib. ''lung'') through three main subtle energy channels within the body.〔Tenzin Wangyal 2011, pages 14〕 The three poisons have been compared to the Western psychological concepts of narcissism, desire, and anger.〔Epstein, Mark (2004), p. 39.〕〔Leifer, Ron (1997), p. 25.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three poisons (Buddhism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
