What is unavoidable in the lives of Sattva is klesa(evil passions). Klesa brings about suffering, which is linked to death. The Buddhists claim that deaths are not the end, and what you did in the past becomes karma and leads to cycles of life, Then why does klesa occur? In addition, after klesa take place, what obscurations are people confronted? The questions would be discussed in this paper. The foundational Sutra selected for the research is four fascicles of Lankaυatara Sutra. As it is in line with the beginning of the Zen Buddhism in China, the book four fascicles of Lankauatara Sutra holds more important position than other translated sutra in the early history of Chinese Zen buddhism. Klesa is the beginning of fundamental problems that prevent people from seeing as it is. Klesa is caused by ignorance and desire, which also invite karma. With Ciyate(accumulated) karrna in our Citta(mind), the activity consciousness from what happened in the past affects us in the present, keeping our consciousness from seeing what is happening before our very eyes correctly. As a result, we distinguish and judge based on parikalpita(imagination) things like imagination and dreams formed by paratantra(reality). That is why we insist only ‘I’ am the right. This paper looks into the causes of klesa, the cycle and penomenon of life and death of citta(Vijnana), and the consequent fundamental obscurations of Sattva, that is, parikalpita and paratantra. When we do not know of the interconnected process, pain ends only as pain, But once we know, we realize that mind is origin of the triple world. That is when yogin begins.
