Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘When we are unaware of impermanence and egolessness, the ego appears to be the center of the world. Anger and greed arise because the ego tries to protect itself. Greed prompts us to accumulate more and more to satisfy egocentric desires. Anger is caused by the ego’s need to stay secure and powerful. These three poisons are the basic causes of our bad karma.’ (Living By Vow)
