“Mind beyond concepts” refers to the situation of being free of the three poisons. A normal person is totally engrossed in the three poisons through his whole lifetime. To attain liberation from samsara we need to leave behind the three poisons. How can we be free from them? We cannot bury them underground, flush them away, burn them, blow them up or even throw a nuclear bomb at them and expect the three poisons to disappear. Our continuous involvement with them is like an evil machine. The perfect Buddha described samsaric existence as an ocean of endless suffering, or like the continuous revolving of an evil machine, like a vicious circle.
Buddha told us we need to apply a method in order to liberate ourselves and all other sentient beings from the ocean of samsara. The primary cause of samsaric existence is our own dualistic mind, as I just pointed out. Some people might claim, “I don’t commit any evil! I don’t kill, I don’t steal and I don’t lie. I don’t do any negative actions!” While we might not perform such coarse negative actions, subtle negative actions are continuously created in our mind. As long as our liking, disliking and indifference are not purified, they block the path to liberation and complete enlightenment. So what can clear away and eradicate the three poisons in our own mind? The recognition
of buddha nature, self-existing awareness.
