The 108 Defilements
2023



A manual to identify all the 108 kilesa (defilements) -- every annoyance and troubles of mind that human will ever encounter according to the long extinct Abhidharma Buddhism school Sarvāstivādins (說一切有部 - the school that speaks of all that exists).

The defilements were categorized in three groups: the defilements in the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm, plus the ten "bonds".

The texts were taken from the book A history of Indian Buddhism by Akira Hirakawa, the photos and the fungus gnats sticker were taken from home of a dear friend.
