The research points out how greed can affect the physical and mental wellbeing of individual. The study also reveals the techniques and methods of eliminating greed discussed in the canonical teachings. The wish to make the reader realize that one spends the whole life developing superficial things, improving the mind, making it more and more clear, more and more subtle, is actually reinforcing the craving mind to an ever-stronger state of desiring to becoming; is somehow the main aim of this thesis. Being a citizen of the human world and the follower of the Buddha, the researcher also wishes to draw the reader’s attention to the timeless teaching of the Buddha, detecting the root of cause of all sufferings in order to obtain a happy life free from suffering.IJSRED-International Journal of Scientific Research and Engineering Developmen
