The Second Realization - Greed Is the Cause of Suffering

Realize that excessive desire causes suffering. The fatigue and troubles of the cycle of birth and death arise from greed and desire. Have few desires, be receptive, and you will be content in body and mind.

(From Buddhism - Pure and Simple, by Hsing Yun)
