arose because both phrase share the same word in Chinese writings. In Buddhist doctrine, being infatuated with, having attachment, cannot forget and constantly keeping in mind, difficulty in freeing oneself, its the same as Duan Yu’s feelings towards Wang YuYan, within the “three poison” its classified as “greed”, its not considered “delusion”. But human can be “infatuated” or “lovesick”, the reason is because they “make mistakes” and they “don’t understand the truth”, thus there is no much difference between the two sides. The word “greed” in Chinese writings refers to excessive desire to acquire more than one needs; The word “greed” in Buddhist doctrine is the same but it also include reasonable compensation, for example, passing exam, earning money in business, etc, the reward you obtain is to satisfy your “greed”.

Buddhist believes that out of the “three poison”, “delusion” is most difficult to eliminate, the reason is because if one’s heart have no “delusion”, then one will have “correct insight”, “correct thoughts”, one will have true understanding of the “ultimate essence of being”, one can then sever their roots of stupidity and gain roots of benefit, this will give rise to “three wholesome thinking” (breaking away, no rage, no harm), and henceforth gain wisdom, one can then get rid of “greed” and “anger”. “Delusion” in Buddhist doctrine is translated in English as “delusion, ignorance, false thinking, without the right understanding, without the right thoughts”. Its not difficult to get rid of “anger”, its extremely difficult to get rid of “greed”, but if one can get rid of “delusion”, then they can achieve supreme enlightenment or nirvana, they will see the truth in Buddhism. Thus “not understanding Buddhism” is one of life’s “eight difficulties”, its similar to being born deaf, mute and blind.
