Q: Last time, you said that the Three Poisons?is the root of all the unwholesome.?Could you explain why?

A: The Three Poisons influence upon the functions of the Six Sense-Faculties, which are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. As a result of function between the Three Poisons and Six Sense-Faculties, the Six Consciousness occurs.Coming in and out of the Six Sense-Faculties, this Six Consciousness causes attachment to the mental objects. In that way, the Six Consciousness commits unwholesome karmas and veils the True-Suchness. Therefore, the Six Consciousness is called the Six Thieves.

Q: Are the Three Poisons and the Six Thieves the cause of human sufferings?

A: Yes, because of the Three poisons and the Six Thieves, all sentient beings become ignorant and distract mind and body. As a result, sentient beings fall into the birth and death and suffer cycling the Six Realms.?

Q: How can we get out of the Six Realms and be free from sufferings?

A: People who seek nirvana have to transform the Three Poisons into the Three Accumulations of Pure Precept, which are; conduct all wholesome things, conduct for sentient beings?benefits, and keep precepts. Also, people who seek nirvana have to transform the Six Thieves into the Six Perfections.

Q: You said before that it is the most essential way to see and observe mind if one seeks Buddha path.?There, then, are vast and boundless Three Poisons and Six Thieves.?How can we get out of the endless sufferings with seeing and observing mind?

A: The consequences of actions in the Triple World are originated from mind. Therefore, once enlighten the mind, you can get out of the Triple World even though you are in the Triple World.?

Q: How is it possible?

A: The Triple World is just the Three Poisons.?The mind of craving becomes the realm of desire, the mind of anger becomes the realm of form, and the mind of ignorance becomes the realm of formless. The Triple World is to collect various unwholesome by the Three Poisons, build the consequences of actions, and as a result, cycle the Six Realms depending on actions.
