The Buddha taught that people are motivated primarily by greed, delusion or fear.

Yoga Journal Editor's Letter, February 2006

When asked what my religion is, I tend to refer to myself as a Catholic-Buddhist. While there may fundamentally be no such thing, I will stand by it for 2 reasons. One is basically for a lack of a better description that would save me explaining for hours what my religious views are. Second is I gave up on labels some time ago. Such words and labels have far too few dimensions to them when trying to commnicate very complicated topics, such as a person's faith.
