- 三毒
- The three poisons, also styled [lang id =1028]三根; [lang id =1028]三株; they are [lang id =1028]貪 concupiscence, or wrong desire, [lang id =1028]瞋 anger, hate, or resentment, and [lang id =1028]痴 stupidity, ignorance, unintelligence, or unwillingness to accept Buddha-truth; these three are the source of all the passions and delusions. They represent in part the ideas of love, hate, and moral inertia. v. [lang id =1028]智度論 19, 31.* * *﹝出法界次第﹞ 毒者毒害也。 謂貪瞋癡皆能破壞出世善心, 故名毒也。 〔一、 貪毒〕, 引取之心, 名之為貪。 若以迷心對一切順情之境, 引取無厭, 是名貪毒。 〔二、 瞋毒〕, 忿怒之心, 名之為瞋。 若以迷心對一切違情之境, 便起忿怒, 是名瞋毒。 〔三、 癡毒〕, 迷惑之心, 名之為癡。 若於一切事理之法無所明了, 顛倒妄取, 起諸邪行, 是名癡毒。* * *貪、 瞋、 痴。 貪是貪愛五欲, 瞋是瞋恚無忍, 痴是愚痴無明, 因貪瞋痴能毒害人們的身命與慧命, 故名三毒。
