In Buddhism, greed, anger (hatred) and ignorance (delusion)--also called "Three Poisons"--can be transformed through cultivating generosity (dāna-pāramitā)or alms giving and non-attachment, compassion or loving kindness (Karuṇā), and meditation to cultivate wisdom (Prajñā).
This transformation process is a rigorous life-long training. The practitioner needs to be patient and persistent in his/her daily practice. The key is to observe the mind. The mind is transformable, and the practitioner can gradually transform it for the better. Only when one's mind is calm can one see reality and the world as it actually is. Only when one's mind has peace can peace be established in human society and in the universe.
