Keles Ekdahas Pansiyaya

Klesha or defilements is a main characteristic referred to in many instances of the Buddha’s teachings. Defilements are one major hindrance that blocks the path to Nibbana. The defilements grow easily when one is not properly engaged in the Buddhist code of discipline. Venerable Rerukane Chandawimala Thera outlines 1500 such defilements - some in brief and some in length. It is a good guidebook to understand what defilements lie deep beneath you.
