Learn Buddhism: Attachment (Upadana) In Buddhism

What are we trying to end in Buddhism? The Three Fires of greed, anger, and ignorance result in karmic actions that trap us in rebirth and dukkha (suffering). But how did we get here in the first place? What "fuels" those three fires? It's Upadana. Literally "fuel", but often translated as "attachment". This is where we cling and attach to sense objects with our sense organs (we see something we like through our eyes for instance, and that gives rise to our mind/consciousness).

Thank you for the lesson 😁
I am here thinking... don't we need this fire to follow buhdism and look for an "improvement" that Buda suggest? Maybe I am looking at the fire as something bad, when I should understand it is not.
