learn how to improve and "win" the internal battle against
our own kilesa. Although people generally recognize the fact
that they acquire bad habits throughout their lives, they may
not recognize that this accumulation of bad habits, according
to Buddhist teachings, may have actually begun prior to their
current life. Everyone knows that they have bad habits that
should be improved to make their lives easier and happier. If
you do not feel this way, then this book is probably going to
be difficult reading for you, but it is you who would benefit
the most from these teachings! In other words, it is okay not
to be perfect as long as we recognize that we are imperfect
and learn how to overcome these imperfections. We have to
fully comprehend this reality of life. We are not perfect and
that is okay. Once we realize that we are not perfect then we
can begin to pave the way to a better future by practicing
the teachings of the wise. In this book, we look at kilesa
through a Buddhist lens, but its essence, its meaning, can be
found in any religion. Therefore, when we refer to kilesa,
we refer to the negative, immoral, and socially unacceptable
tendencies and habits that we have accumulated and continue
to accumulate.
Just as you plant seeds, nurture them in the right
conditions and wait for them to blossom in your garden, we
hope that you will also blossom by diligently persisting in
the practice of the universal teachings found within your
hands. Enjoy and Prosper.
