The Three Gates · Knowing What to Step Away From
Meaning
"There are three gates to self-destructive ruin — lust, anger, and greed. Therefore, one should abandon all three."
Explanation
These three — craving, anger, greed — are named clearly here not to scare us, but because naming the exact doorways to trouble makes them much easier to recognize and step away from. Clarity about the danger is itself a form of protection.
Today's Life Lesson
If you feel lust, anger, or greed pulling at you today, simply naming it as one of these three gates can help you step back.
