Explanation of the pictures,

1. The defilements cause the arising of dukkha (mental pain,
mental distress).

2. The defilements of lobha, dosa(koda), and moha.
3. The picture shows the worldly person with defilement,
that is, with deeply ingrained and habitual lobha, koda, and moha
(greed, aversion and delution).
4. the ten circles which connect to the head are the ten
saṃyojana, or refined forms of defilement, which are generally
present, from left to right they are: I) sakkāyadiṭṭhi 2)viccikiccā

3)sīlabattaparamāsa 4)kāmarāga 5) patigha 6) rūparāga 7)
arūparāga 8)māna 9)uddacca 10) avijja.
5. the grey circles point out the source as the root defilement
of moha, delusion; and there are six such.
the green circles point out the source as the root defilement
of lobha, lust/greed; there are three such.
the red circle indicates the source as the root defilement of
dosa, aversion/anger; there is one such.
6. Because of the deluded understanding that this body and

mind is ‘me’ or ‘mine’ then we think of and prioritize only ourselves.
When we only think about ourselves then there’s a lot of
selfishness.
When there’s selfishness there’s lobha – lust and greed.
Lobha is the desire to get, to have, to be. When it concerns
things we like.
Lobha is the desire to not get, not have, not be, when it

concerns things we don’t like.
And whenever we don’t get what we want there’s
dissatisfaction, perhaps anger.

To sum up: whenever the defilements of greed, aversion/
anger, and delusion are present, there’s dukkha.
