Mind is the forerunner of (all evil) states.
Mind is chief; mind-made are they. If one
speaks or acts with wicked mind,
because of that, suffering follows one,
even as the wheel
follows the hoof of the draught-ox.
(Narada)
The ‘Devils’ in Us
The roots of all our Dukkha …suffering, trouble,
conflict, problems, stress, worry, fear, anxiety and
all painful states actually lie in the “ three big
Devils ” and their ‘disciple devils’. The ‘Devils’
are:
• GREED, attachment, selfishness,
covetousness, craving, lust.
• HATRED, anger, ill will, aversion, enmity,
jealousy, cruelty, resentment.
• DELUSION, ignorance, ego, conceit, pride.
The following ‘Devilish’ characters as listed in the
following pages with their
utterances/statements/talk are created to help us
reflect on the Dhamma. Any insults, sarcasm or
other negative statements do not refer to anyone in
particular and are not meant to offend. Through the
wit and humour, let us reflect to what extent the
defilements of greed, hatred and delusion reside
inside our minds and hearts. Contemplation and
reflection perhaps can help us have some
realisation of our weaknesses and thereby strive
towards cutting off the defilements.
Introducing the ‘Devils’
1. “Mr. Chin Tham Sim” (Hokkien pun for Mr.
‘Greed’)
• ‘All I want is not much …just all your
POWER!’
• ‘Even as a baby, I prefer the nurse instead of
the bottle.’
• ‘I may not be a leader of men, but I sure am a
follower of women.’
2
• ‘I think life is very unfair … so many pleasures
and so little time!’
• ‘I’m always AWOL …. After Women or
Liquor!’
2. “Miss Chuah Lau Hea” (Hokkien pun for
Miss ‘Boastful’)
• ‘The only time I really listen is when I talk.’
• ‘Every time I look in the mirror, I take a bow!’
• ‘What you can, I can. What you can’t, I can.’
• ‘During MY BIRTHDAY, I always send my
parents a telegram of Congratulations!’
• ‘I am very famous. My name is in a very big
book … the telephone directory!’
3. “Mr. Ho Chong For” (Cantonese pun for Mr.
‘Great Anger’)
• ‘My temper is so bad that I make you wish my
parents had never met.’
• ‘No mosquito would dare to bite me…it will
drink “boiling blood”.’
• ‘My tongue may be 3 inches long but it can kill
a man 6 feet tall.’
• ‘I am often too angry to tell you why I am
angry!’
• ‘I have good brains, good looks, good money
and a BAD TEMPER!’
4. “Mr. Khor Kah Kee” (Hokkien pun for Mr.
‘Self-Centred’)
• ‘I don’t care what happens … so long as it
happens to someone else!’
• ‘A friend in need is a friend to keep away
from!’
3
• ‘Dana? …Not Me! Welfare Work? …No Time!
Gotong Royong? Why so Stupid? “Makan
Treat”? Oh! Sure!’
• ‘I don’t believe in GIVE! GIVE! GIVE! I
always TAKE! TAKE! TAKE!’
• ‘Join this? Do this? Be present? …Ah, what
benefits can my family and I get?’
5. “Miss Wan Toh Sim” (Hokkien pun for ‘Miss
Jealousy’)
• ‘I’ll feel better if I do better than you!’
• ‘You think he’s clever? He must have copied in
the exam.’
• ‘I turn GREEN when I see her more successful
than me!’
• ‘Wah! The more you suffer, the greater my
pleasure!’
• ‘Thank you for failing! It stops the pain in my
heart!’
6. “Mr. Bee Na Tang” (Malay pun for ‘Mr.
Animal’)
• ‘Me No Know, Me No Care; Enjoy-lah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah!’
• ‘Sleep, Eat, Enjoy, Sleep, Eat!’
• ‘I do what I want to do. KAMMA? Ha! Ha!
Why Worry?
I don’t know!’
• ‘Beware! When you kick my heart, your leg
will break!’ (Now you know what is meant by
stone-hearted!)
• ‘Why think? Why ponder? Just follow your
desires!’
When we learn and practise the Dhamma, it is very
important for us to constantly check ourselves...to
4
watch our minds, to contemplate and reflect.
Whenever the ‘Devils’ come, we must ‘fight’ and
‘kill’ them! Perhaps the following questions can
help us to retrospect and reflect:
• Am I full of greed and attachment?
• Do I spend so much of my time ‘chasing’ for
things to satisfy my cravings?
• How much DANA (Generosity, Charity) do I
practise to ‘kill’ this dangerous SELF?
• How selfish am I? Do I only involve in things
that benefit MYSELF or MY family only?
• Am I progressing in my outreach work?
• How often am I filled with anger, hatred, and
jealousy?
• Do I put in effort to cut my greed and hatred …
for example through charity work, Metta
Bhavana etc.?
• To reduce IGNORANCE/DELUSION, do I put
in time and effort in learning, understanding
and practising the Dhamma?
• How am I doing in my DANA (Charity), SILA
(Morality) and Bhavana (Mental Cultivation)?
Conquering Greed with Generosity
“A believer desires to see those who are virtuous;
he desires to hear the good Dhamma; and with a
heart free from stinginess, he lives at home
generous, clean-handed, delighting in giving, one
to ask a favour of, one who delights in sharing
things with others.” Anguttara Nikaya
Conquering Hatred with Loving-Kindness
“Just as water cools both good and bad, and
washes away all impurity and dust, in the same
way you should develop thoughts of loving-
kindness to friend and foe alike, and having
reached perfection in love, you will attain
Enlightenment.”

Jataka Nidanakatha
Conquering Delusion with Wisdom
“Wisdom is purified by Virtue, and Virtue is
purified by Wisdom. When one is, so is the other.
The virtuous person has Wisdom, and the wise
person has Virtue. The combination of Virtue and
Wisdom is called the highest thing in the world.”
Digha Nikaya

Overcoming the Three Devils Within

  • 1. 1 Mind is the forerunner of (all evil) states. Mind is chief; mind-made are they. If one speaks or acts with wicked mind, because of that, suffering follows one, even as the wheel follows the hoof of the draught-ox. (Narada)
  • 2. The ‘Devils’ in Us The roots of all our Dukkha …suffering, trouble, conflict, problems, stress, worry, fear, anxiety and all painful states actually lie in the “ three big Devils ” and their ‘disciple devils’. The ‘Devils’ are: • GREED, attachment, selfishness, covetousness, craving, lust. • HATRED, anger, ill will, aversion, enmity, jealousy, cruelty, resentment. • DELUSION, ignorance, ego, conceit, pride. The following ‘Devilish’ characters as listed in the following pages with their utterances/statements/talk are created to help us reflect on the Dhamma. Any insults, sarcasm or other negative statements do not refer to anyone in particular and are not meant to offend. Through the wit and humour, let us reflect to what extent the defilements of greed, hatred and delusion reside inside our minds and hearts. Contemplation and reflection perhaps can help us have some realisation of our weaknesses and thereby strive towards cutting off the defilements. Introducing the ‘Devils’ 1. “Mr. Chin Tham Sim” (Hokkien pun for Mr. ‘Greed’) • ‘All I want is not much …just all your POWER!’ • ‘Even as a baby, I prefer the nurse instead of the bottle.’ • ‘I may not be a leader of men, but I sure am a follower of women.’ 2
  • 3. • ‘I think life is very unfair … so many pleasures and so little time!’ • ‘I’m always AWOL …. After Women or Liquor!’ 2. “Miss Chuah Lau Hea” (Hokkien pun for Miss ‘Boastful’) • ‘The only time I really listen is when I talk.’ • ‘Every time I look in the mirror, I take a bow!’ • ‘What you can, I can. What you can’t, I can.’ • ‘During MY BIRTHDAY, I always send my parents a telegram of Congratulations!’ • ‘I am very famous. My name is in a very big book … the telephone directory!’ 3. “Mr. Ho Chong For” (Cantonese pun for Mr. ‘Great Anger’) • ‘My temper is so bad that I make you wish my parents had never met.’ • ‘No mosquito would dare to bite me…it will drink “boiling blood”.’ • ‘My tongue may be 3 inches long but it can kill a man 6 feet tall.’ • ‘I am often too angry to tell you why I am angry!’ • ‘I have good brains, good looks, good money and a BAD TEMPER!’ 4. “Mr. Khor Kah Kee” (Hokkien pun for Mr. ‘Self-Centred’) • ‘I don’t care what happens … so long as it happens to someone else!’ • ‘A friend in need is a friend to keep away from!’ 3
  • 4. • ‘Dana? …Not Me! Welfare Work? …No Time! Gotong Royong? Why so Stupid? “Makan Treat”? Oh! Sure!’ • ‘I don’t believe in GIVE! GIVE! GIVE! I always TAKE! TAKE! TAKE!’ • ‘Join this? Do this? Be present? …Ah, what benefits can my family and I get?’ 5. “Miss Wan Toh Sim” (Hokkien pun for ‘Miss Jealousy’) • ‘I’ll feel better if I do better than you!’ • ‘You think he’s clever? He must have copied in the exam.’ • ‘I turn GREEN when I see her more successful than me!’ • ‘Wah! The more you suffer, the greater my pleasure!’ • ‘Thank you for failing! It stops the pain in my heart!’ 6. “Mr. Bee Na Tang” (Malay pun for ‘Mr. Animal’) • ‘Me No Know, Me No Care; Enjoy-lah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!’ • ‘Sleep, Eat, Enjoy, Sleep, Eat!’ • ‘I do what I want to do. KAMMA? Ha! Ha! Why Worry? I don’t know!’ • ‘Beware! When you kick my heart, your leg will break!’ (Now you know what is meant by stone-hearted!) • ‘Why think? Why ponder? Just follow your desires!’ When we learn and practise the Dhamma, it is very important for us to constantly check ourselves...to 4
  • 5. watch our minds, to contemplate and reflect. Whenever the ‘Devils’ come, we must ‘fight’ and ‘kill’ them! Perhaps the following questions can help us to retrospect and reflect: • Am I full of greed and attachment? • Do I spend so much of my time ‘chasing’ for things to satisfy my cravings? • How much DANA (Generosity, Charity) do I practise to ‘kill’ this dangerous SELF? • How selfish am I? Do I only involve in things that benefit MYSELF or MY family only? • Am I progressing in my outreach work? • How often am I filled with anger, hatred, and jealousy? • Do I put in effort to cut my greed and hatred … for example through charity work, Metta Bhavana etc.? • To reduce IGNORANCE/DELUSION, do I put in time and effort in learning, understanding and practising the Dhamma? • How am I doing in my DANA (Charity), SILA (Morality) and Bhavana (Mental Cultivation)? Conquering Greed with Generosity “A believer desires to see those who are virtuous; he desires to hear the good Dhamma; and with a heart free from stinginess, he lives at home generous, clean-handed, delighting in giving, one to ask a favour of, one who delights in sharing things with others.” Anguttara Nikaya Conquering Hatred with Loving-Kindness “Just as water cools both good and bad, and washes away all impurity and dust, in the same way you should develop thoughts of loving- kindness to friend and foe alike, and having reached perfection in love, you will attain Enlightenment.” 5
  • 6. Jataka Nidanakatha Conquering Delusion with Wisdom “Wisdom is purified by Virtue, and Virtue is purified by Wisdom. When one is, so is the other. The virtuous person has Wisdom, and the wise person has Virtue. The combination of Virtue and Wisdom is called the highest thing in the world.” Digha Nikaya 6
