煩惱

(煩惱, 烦恼)

(sa) kleśa, 'pain, affliction, distress,' 'care, trouble' (M.W.). The Chinese tr. is similar, distress, worry, trouble, and whatever causes them. Keith interprets (sa) kleśa by 'infection', 'contamination', 'defilement'. The Chinese intp. is the delusions, trials, or temptations of the passions and of ignorance which disturb and distress the mind; also in brief as the three poisons [lang id =1028]貪瞋痴 desire, detestation, and delusion. There is a division into the six fundamental [lang id =1028]煩惱, or afflictions, v. below, and the twenty which result or follow them and there are other dual divisions. The six are: [lang id =1028]貪瞋痴慢疑 and [lang id =1028]惡見 desire, detestation, delusion, pride, doubt, and evil views, which last are the false views of a permanent ego, etc. The ten [lang id =1028]煩惱 are the first five, and the sixth subdivided into five. [lang id =1028]煩惱, like (sa) kleśa, implies moral affliction or distress, trial, temptation, tempting, sin. Cf. [lang id =1028]使.

昏煩之法， 惱亂心神， 即無明貪愛之惑也。 謂諸眾生， 隨順煩惱， 流轉生死， 故違涅槃之道也。

煩是擾義， 惱是亂義， 能擾亂眾生身心， 令使心煩意亂的見思惑， 叫做煩惱。
