This conceptual series express the journey of monk go to Nirvana. Greed, Hatred and Delusion are major obstacles, which all monks have to overcome on their way to become Bodhisattva. There are the smallest subtle manifestations of greed, hatred, and delusion,which is very difficult to identify. Sometimes being too absorbed in the philosophy of Buddhism is a trap. The fight with oneself to give up the ego is the most difficult. The truth is that the obstacles that monks have to overcome are also the challenges that ordinary people have to face to have a happy life.
