The cause of Five Poisons - Greed, Anger, Delusion, Arrogance and
Suspicion is our attachment to form. (i.e. such as logic, words,
manners, attitudes, thoughts, actions, phenomena, weather, conditions, etc.)
To rid of the Five Poisons, begins by realizing that form is emptiness
by nature. Form is transient, relative, impermanent and context
driven. Therefore form existed only in one particular instance and
relativity.
Whenever we are affected by form, our discriminating mind is initiated.
Our egoic function rises. Our emotion is aroused. Our heart is no
longer pure. Our heart is contaminated with "notion of self" and
"notion of dharma". We drop down to the human realm from the pure heart
realm of Bodhisatva.
Diamond Sutra stated very clearly, "detach from notion of self and
notion of dharma is the beginning.."
This is what I was taught. This is how we practice at every moment.
For your reference only. Thank you for your attention.
