What does Anusaya Kilesa means? How to remove them completely?
Upvote:1
According to Theravada teachings, Anusaya will be removed only by following the Noble Eightfold Path. Samma Sati (Goenka re-introduce this as Vipassana) is the seventh factor of the Noble Eightfold Path. Dana or giving Sila or virtues are only one aspect of the Noble Eightfold Path. (third, fourth and fifth factors of Noble Eightfold Path) Noble Eightfold Path has to be practiced in its entirety. For instance, if you try only to practice Vipassana, it is not sufficient unless Vipassana is incorporated with Noble Eightfold Path.

After attaining Nirvana, there is not any anusaya kilesa lying dormant. Nirvana is the uprooting of the anusaya kilesa.
Also, anusaya kilesa is not exclusively karmic influence. Anusaya kilesa starts as a natural in-born element, unrelated to kamma, as follows:
For a young tender infant lying prone does not even have the notion ‘identity,’ so how could identity view arise in him? Yet the underlying tendency to identity view lies within him. A young tender infant lying prone does not even have the notion ‘teachings,’ so how could doubt about the teachings arise in him? Yet the underlying tendency to doubt lies within him. A young tender infant lying prone does not even have the notion ‘rules,’ so how could adherence to rules and observances arise in him? Yet the underlying tendency to adhere to rules and observances lies within him. A young tender infant lying prone does not even have the notion ‘sensual pleasures,’ so how could sensual desire arise in him? Yet the underlying tendency to sensual lust lies within him. A young tender infant lying prone does not even have the notion ‘beings,’ so how could ill will towards beings arise in him? Yet the underlying tendency to ill will lies within him.
Anusaya kilesa is "uprooted" by seeing clearly the five aggregates and six spheres are not-self (anatta), as follows:
Bhikkhu, when one knows and sees... nonself, the underlying tendencies are uprooted.
Or as follows:
And what is the way of developing immersion further that leads to the ending of defilements?
It’s when a mendicant meditates observing rise and fall in the five grasping aggregates.
‘Such is form, such is the origin of form, such is the ending of form.
Such is feeling, such is the origin of feeling, such is the ending of feeling.
Such is perception, such is the origin of perception, such is the ending of perception.
Such are choices, such is the origin of choices, such is the ending of choices.
Such is consciousness, such is the origin of consciousness, such is the ending of consciousness.’
This is the way of developing immersion further that leads to the ending of defilements.
As for Dr. Ambedkar, his statement is false and an unwholesome wrong view about Buddhism for political purposes.
Also, the truth of Buddhism cannot be understood without scriptural texts.
