cattasalla"Greed" in the technical Buddhist sense isn't just being Scrooge. It's wanting more than what is happening. It's clinging to good things. Lobha does include miserliness, but it means any sort of sticking to experience. It is stickiness.
I am reading the Abhidhammattha Saṅgaha and I just learned that the image for greed, in this sense, is meat sticking to a hot pan. That image makes a lot of sense to my own mindfulness practice, and what experiences I'm sticking to, so I offer it in the hopes it helps you.
