Talk: 2013-10_09 Dharma Talk.json Start_time: 00:58:05 Display_question: What are the three toxins? Keyword_search: toxins, greed, hatred, ignorance, root, wanting mind, confused mind Question_content: Questioner: I have a question. You mentioned the three toxins, and you talked about greed, and you talked about ignorance, but I didn't get the third one. Larry: No. Greed, hatred, and ignorance. Questioner: Hatred is the third one. Thank you. Larry: No. No, ignorance is, and I'll tell you why. Ignorance is the root. Because out of ignorance comes the ignorant conclusion, that the more we get of something, the happier we'll be. Or the more we eliminate things that we don't want, the happier we will be. Which is not really true. If it were true, it wouldn’t…so, ignorance is the root. If you get that one, all the others come out of it. So, it's kind of the wanting mind. The not wanting mind, and the confused mind. It's more ordinary language. End_time: 00:58:45
