III.B. Original Face of Six Thieves These three poisons came from the essential one body. When it is transformd according to the six sense roots, it becomes six thieves; and six thieves are
sex consciousnesses. These six consciousnesses create evil karmas when they respond to the six roots; it will
automatically be affected by the outer perspectives and become an obstacle for truth-as-it-is. That is why we call them six thieves. As a result of these three poisons and six thieves causing confused body and mind, all indigent-beings fall into life-death and enter the six branches of the karmic-chain. Thus, all the sufferings follow. Is is like one great river formed by the gathering of many small, ceaselessly flowing streams to make ten-thousand miles of meandering river current. |
