Which one is the Head of the group?

A topic of Buddhism to discuss:

There are ‘Three Poisons’ called: Greed, Anger, Ignorance

When we want to eliminate these, we should catch the head of the group, but which one is the Head?

I think:

Belief/thought will influence action, and action will influence emotion

Belief/thought – Ignorance

Action – Greed

Emotion – Anger

It should deal with Ignorance, and then transform greed to giving, so the feeling will be joyful.

How to deal with Ignorance? Develop Wisdom.

How to get Wisdom? Develop Morality and do Meditation.

These are called the ‘Three Trainings or Practices’:

Sila (Virtue, Morality)

Samadhi (Meditation, Concentration)

Prajna (Wisdom, Enlightenment)

有一佛友给了这课题﹕

在五戒十善裡的“意”有三種：不貪，不嗔，與不痴。

俗語說：擒賊先擒王，那麼我們在修時，我們該擒哪一個先？

我认为:

观念影响行动; 行动影响情绪
观念 - 痴
行动 - 贪
情绪 - 嗔

要先对治痴、然后转贪为施、心就会悦。

要怎样对治痴呢？要有慧。

怎样得慧？要持戒、修定。

三学: 戒、定、慧

Water, why?

Where will you take me?

你会带我往何去？

水冷冷不语

慢慢消融叶

Self-awareness of emotions and feelings

The assignment this week is to observe your feelings/emotions in various situations throughout the day. You should write at least three situations:

1. Simply describe the situation, example: my coworker wants me to help with his job…
2. This issue makes me feel (any emotion, positive or negative), example: angry, happy, anxious, etc.
3. Rate the intensity of the emotion/feeling – 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), example: rate 7
4. How long did the emotion/feeling affect me, example: 1 hour

这星期的功课: 观察你在生活事件中出现的情绪感受

写出至少三件事:

1. 简单描述事件，例子: 我的同事要我幫他的工作…

2. 这事让你感觉（任何正或负面情绪／感受），例子: 氣憤、高興、焦急或其他

3. 评估那情绪感受的激烈度 - 1（最低）到10（最高），例子: 評估7

4. 那情绪感受影响我多久，例子: 1小時
