Discover the Roots of Suffering - and the Path to Liberation
108 Defilements: A Buddhist Journey Through the Shadows of the Mind is a profound exploration of the mental and emotional states that keep us trapped in cycles of suffering. Drawing from traditional Buddhist teachings and enhanced with trilingual translations (English, Greek, and Japanese), this book unveils the core human tendencies - such as anger, pride, envy, fear, and delusion - that obscure our clarity and compassion.
More than just a list, each of the 108 defilements is presented with a clear definition, cultural context, and practical insight, offering readers a mirror through which to observe their inner landscape. With roots in the symbolism of the 108 beads of the mala or juzu, this sacred number reflects the many ways the mind strays - and the many ways it can return.
Whether you are a seeker on the Buddhist path, a meditator exploring the workings of the mind, or a reader drawn to Eastern philosophy and self-transformation, this book offers a powerful tool for reflection, shadow work, and spiritual clarity.
Inside you will find:
- All 108 defilements explained in depth
- Translations in Japanese (kanji + furigana) and Greek
- Insights rooted in classical Buddhist psychology
