Abhidharmakosa Chapter V: Anusaya Latent Defilements


Overview: The path to liberation, and to some extent, enlightenment itself, is defined in terms of the elimination of the defilements (anusaya). The knowledge of the destruction of outflows is one of the most significant features of the fully awakened ones. The defilements are the afflictions of the mind and freedom from the defilements is freedom from suffering. The decisive elimination of the defilements is based on discerning the dharmas (dharma-pravicara) including a thorough investigation into the nature, extent and functioning of the defilements (how they function, what they are, what is their object, how are they abandoned, etc.). [Note: for definitions of the klesa & upaklesa, also see 75 Dharmas in Ch II Study Materials.] Anusaya: from anu - sleep, lie down. Main meanings for Sarvastivada: to adhere and grow concordantly [with the object], anu connotes the tenacity of the defilement and si is not as latency but subtlety. An anusaya is that which has or does anusayana, i.e., the function of growing or intensifying in accord with an impure object. 4 meanings in Kosa: 1. subtle; 2. following along/adhering; 3. Grow in accord with the object & caitta; 4. binding with (K39) IMAGE: Like a bird flying in the sky, thinking it can cross an ocean, and a fish swimming in the water, following its shadow until it eventually the bird falls to its demise. It is very difficult to become free from the defilements. Kosa Ch V: We said that the world, in all its variety, arises from action (iv.1).Now it is by reason of the anusayas or latent defilements, that actions accumulate: in the absence of the anusayas, actions are not capable of producing a new existence. K1a: The roots of existence, that is, of rebirth or of action, are the anuayas. When a klesa or defilement enters into action, it accomplishes ten operations: 1. it makes solid [or firm] its root, its praptithe possession that a certain person already had of the klesa (ii.36,38a) preventing it from being broken; 2. it places itself in a series (that is, it continues to reproduce itself [establishing a series]); 3. it accommodates its field, rendering the person (asrava, ii.5, 6,44d) fit for the arising [or abiding] of the klesa [and also makes one inapt to change]; 4. it engenders its offspring, that is, the upaklesas (v.46): hatred engenders anger, etc. [engenders a poisonous emanation, see upaklesas in 2nd table below]; 5. it leads to action [leads to karma-bhava, induces the karma for new existence]; 6. it aggregates its causes, namely, incorrect judgment [gathers up its own requisites, repeatedly giving rise to improper mental application]; 7. it causes one to be mistaken [deluded] with regard to the object of consciousness [harms proper understanding]; 8. it bends the mental series towards the object or towards rebirth (iii.30) [conducts the stream of consciousness, induces consciousness on the objects of rebirth]; 9. it brings about a falling away of good [opposes the virtues, makes one go astray]; and 10. it becomes a bond (bandhana, v.45d) and prevents surmounting of the sphere of existence to which it belongs. Further, the defilements can generate all forms of suffering. The Defilements Adhere and Grow (K39): One defilement causes the whole citta-caitta complex to be defiled by way of influence and contamination. For this reason, the Sarvastivada teach that the defilements adhere and grow. The defilement and the aggregate of mind and mental factors (citta-caitta) mutually support and deepen each other. The citta-caittas become defiled and the defilement becomes more intense. The defilement also adheres and grows in relation to its object, unless the object is pure (anasrava, outflow-free): the 3rd and 4th noble truths of nirvana and the path. Such pure objects do not support the growth of the defilements but are opposed to them. Modes and Categories of Abandonment of the Defilements (K4-5) When a defilement can be abandoned simply by the insight into the Four Noble Truths, it is darsana-heya, susceptible of being abandoned by the path of seeing (or vision: darsana). Otherwise, the defilements are susceptible of being abandoned by seeing and cultivation (bhavana-heya). See Table 1. The 5 views and doubt, being cognitive in nature, are solely abandoned by the path of seeing (darsana-marga). The other 4 defilements, attachment, anger, pride and ignorance, are cognitive and affective in nature and thus are not abandoned by insight alone. Cultivation, that is, repeated practice and realization of insight, and deepening of meditation, is required. The Sarvastivada distinguishes 5 categories of abandonables: 1. by seeing the 1st noble truth of suffering (dukkha-satya) [completely abandons view of self & view of extremes] nd 2. by seeing the 2 noble truth of origin (samudaya-satya) [universal defilements are abandoned by seeing 1st & 2nd truths] 3. by seeing the 3rd noble truth of extinction (nirodha-satya) [ignorance, false views (mithya-drsti) & doubt abandonable by 4. by seeing the 4th noble truth of the path (marga-satya) seeing the 3rd & 4th truths have pure (anasrava) objects.] 5. through cultivation (bhavana) [these 4 anusaya have 9 grades: weak-weak to strong-strong] Further, the Sarvastivada distinguishes defilements in terms of the 3 spheres: 1. Kamadhatu (desire-realm), 2. Rupadhatu (fine-material-realm), and 3. Arupyadhatu (non-material-realm). Taking into account the 5 categories of abandonables, the 3 spheres, the 10 anusayas are elaborated into a list of 98 defilements see Table 1, 6, 7, 10 & 98 Defilements. Abandonment (prahana), at certain stages, is basically synonymous with: disjunction (visamyoga), cessation (nirodha), truth (satya), complete knowledge (parijna), fruit of the spiritual life (sramanya-phala).

The Basic Method of the Abandonment of a defilement is complete knowledge of its object. The defilements are not themselves destroyed, but through understanding the object the defilement no longer gives rise to any fault in relation to the object. Through complete knowledge of the object, the acquisition produced by the defilements cannot continue. One is defiled by a defilement when it arises in oneself and comes to be connected with ones series by a conascent acquisition (prapti). When the defilement and the acquisition both cease (become past) one continues to be defiled on account of ones ongoing connection with the defilement, which though past is still existent (sarvastiva), effected by the homogeneous (nisyanda) series of acquisition perpetuated by the original acquisition. When one abandons the defilement, one has severed the linkage of the acquisition. As long as the defilements are not abandoned, the intrinsic natures of past and future defilements continue to exist as realities. In the path of seeing, it is not that the path operates on the defilement as the two are opposed in nature. Rather, the path of seeing knows the object which then causes the defilements bearing on the object to be abandoned. The defilement does not cease to exist, but its acquisition ceases and with that, its afflictive potential. (Dhammajoti) Abandonment is done once and for all there is no partial or repeated abandoning. However, the acquisition of disjunction (visamyoga) from the defilement can be repeated, becoming firmer & deeper (K63). Universal (sarvatraga ) Defilements (K12-18): The universal defilements can arise and function in relation to all objects of their sphere (dhatu) and also serve as the cause for the production of further defilements (similar and dissimilar). There are 11 universal defilements (7+4): 7 = under the defilements abandoned by seeing the truth of suffering in Kamadhatu: ignorance, the 5 views & doubt 4 = under seeing the truth of origin in Kamadhatu: ignorance, false views, esteeming views & doubt In Table 1, these are marked with a u. Of these 11 universal defilements, 9 (by excluding the view of self & view of extremes) also serve as universal defilements in relation to the higher spheres (Rupadhatu & Arupyadhatu). Latent and Manifested Forms of the Defilements (K1): Vasubandhu supports the view that the anusayas are latent tendencies of defilements: What is called anusaya is the klesa itself in a state of sleep, whereas the paryavasthana is the klesa in an awakened state. The sleeping klesa is the non-manifested klesa, in the state of being a seed; the awakened klesa is the manifested klesa, the klesa in action. And by seed one should understand a certain capacity to produce the klesa, a power belonging to the person engendered by the previous klesa. The anusaya are then strictly speaking only abandoned at vajrapama-samadhi (the final samadhi before becoming an arhat or Buddha). The manifest defilements (paryavasthana) can be gradually suppressed without abandoning the anusaya at earlier stages of practice. The Vaibhasikas argue against the view of anusaya as latent defilements, interpreting anusaya rather as subtle and tenacious. Defilements arise from 3 Causes (K34): The anusaya (1) is cause; the dharmas are its object (2); and incorrect judgment (3) is its immediate preparation: three distinct forces: 1) On account of a cause (hetu-balena): anusayas in ones samtana (series) have not been abandoned or known so the defilements can arise when the corresponding conditions assemble. 2) On account of the object (visaya-balena): external stimuli conducive to defilements enter ones field. 3) On account of preparatory effort (prayoga-balena): This refers to improper mental application (ayoniso-manaskara, Pruden: erroneous judgement). Defilements can arise without the 2nd cause (object) if the 1st (not abandoned) and 3rd (improper mental application) are active. The 2nd (object) cannot make a defilement arise if there is proper mental application (the opposite of the 3 rd cause). Other Classifications of the Defilements: Table 2, Analysis of Categories of Defilements, relates a number of classifycations of the defilements from the Sutra teachings to the Sarvastivada Abhidharma elaborations of the anusayas. Notes: 108 Defilements: A total of 108 defilements is arrived at by adding the 98 anusayas (Table 1) to the 10 envelopments (paryavasthana, Table 2). The paryavasthanas and klesa-malas are derived from the anusayas (see Table 2) but come to constitute distinct forces. The outflows (sasrava), floods (ogha), yokes (yoga) and clingings (upadana) are alternate ways of classifying these 108 defilements. Table 2 includes the basic math, e.g. for the canker (outflow) of sense-pleasure, starting with the defilements of Kamadhatu (36), subtract the 5 ignorances of Kamadhatu (as they are part of the canker/outflow of ignorance) and add the 10 paryavasthanas = 41. With-outflow (sasrava) is a key term. All conditioned dharmas are subsumable as being either with or without outflows. This is the first major distinction among the dharmas discussed in the Kosa (Ch I, K4-5). In addition to the etymology in Table 2 (by the asravas, the mental series flows into objects), Kosa offers two alternate explanations: 1. they keep beings in 3 realms, causing beings to flow around (asravanti) the realms (from the highest heaven, Bhavagra, to the lowest hell, Avici); 2. they incessantly discharge inexhaustible impurities through the six wound-like entrances of beings (6 sense-faculties). Fetters, Connections (samyojanas): The list of 9 fetters in Table 2 includes just two of the 10 paryavasthanas: envy and avarice, as they are completely bad and independent [of ignorance] (K42). Further, there is a teaching of 2 sets of 5 fetters: 1) Five are inferior. Two (sensual-desire & malice (vyapada)) cause on not to get out of Kmadhtu; three (self-view, esteeming morality & ascetic practices & doubt) cause one to return there (K43). These five pertain to Kamadhatu. 2) Five are superior, namely two lusts, those which arise from Rpahdhtu and from rpadhtu, namely dissipation (restlessness), pride and ignorance. These five pertain to the higher spheres. Bonds (bandhana), associated with the 3 sensations, emphasize how defilements bind beings to the 3 spheres of existence.

K29-31: How many anusayas attach themselves (anuserate) to each object? We would never finish were we to examine this problem in detail. The Vaibhasikas give a summary exposition of this. In general one can say that there are sixteen types of dharmas, objects to which the anusayas attach themselves: for each sphere there are five categories (categories to be abandoned through the Seeing of Suffering, etc.); plus the pure dharmas. The consciousnesses are of the same sixteen types. When we know which dharmas are the objects of which consciousness, we are then able to calculate how many anusayas attach themselves to these dharmas. [K29] In all, these dharmas are the object of five consciousnesses. The three consciousnesses of Kamadhatu are abandoned through the Seeing of Suffering, through the Seeing of Arising, and through Meditation (abhyasa = bhavana). One consciousness of Rupadhatu is abandoned through Meditation. The following table presents the analysis of K29-31:

Rupadhatu is distinguished from Arupyadhatu with respect to the abandoning of the klesas abandoned through Meditation; one does not establish this distinction with respect to the abandoning of the klesas abandoned through the Seeing of the Truths: the opposition is the same for these (anvayajnana, vii.2c-d), but not for those. Thus three are nine perfect knowledges. Note: the content of this analysis is moving into Ch VI; it may be helpful to see Ch VI first. The analysis of the Perfect Knowledges here can also be compared to the analysis of the Knowledges in Ch VII. It is not clear to me why this analysis is included at this point. Perhaps Vasubandhu saw it as a bridge from Ch V into Ch VI? See K64-70 for further analysis of the Perfect Knowledges.
