Bonnō
Earthly passions and desires
Buddhism
Bonnō (煩悩): the 108 bonnō are the 108 desires that bind human beings to this world and prevent them from being happy.
Suffering comes from attachment to the material things of this world as well as our negative thoughts. Whoever manages to free themselves from these 108 bonnō will become free and enlightened.
