Temporary placeholder, quoted from The Rabbits Horn:
In Buddhism, greed, anger, and ignorance are known as the three poisons.When the mind desires what it finds pleasant, that is greed. When the mind rejects what it finds unpleasant, that is anger.When the mind is confused and misunderstands the universal principles behind all phenomena, that is ignorance. The three poisons are the most serious illnesses that can befall the minds of living beings and are the afflictions which block the way to Buddhahood.
