possessing worldly desires and passions
Buddhist term describing the state of being fully endowed with kleshas (mental afflictions), often used in the context of ordinary unenlightened beings.
Ordinary people are beings fully possessed of worldly desires.
Refers to the mental afflictions themselves, while 煩悩具足 describes the state of being fully endowed with them.
Compound of 煩悩 (bonnō, 'worldly desires; kleshas') and 具足 (gusoku, 'being fully equipped with'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term is well-established in Buddhist texts.
