ATI Glossary

anusaya: Obsesssion; underlying tendency. (The etymology of this term means “lying down with”; in actual usage, the related verb (anuseti) means to be obsessed. Relation to the word nissāya.) There are seven major obsessions to which the mind returns over and over again: obsession with sensual passion (kāma-rāganusaya), with resistance (patighanusaya), with views (ditthanusaya), with uncertainty (vicikicchanusaya), with conceit (manusaya), with passion for becoming (bhava-rāgānusaya), and with ignorance (avijjānusaya). Compare saṁyojana.

 

Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

anusaya: the 7 'proclivities', inclinations, or tendencies are: sensuous greed (kāma-rāga, see saṅyojana), grudge (paṭigha), speculative opinion (see diṭṭhi), skeptical doubt (see vicikicchā ), conceit (see māna), craving for continued existence (bhavarāga), ignorance (see avijjā) (DN 33; AN 7.11, AN 7.12).

“These things are called 'proclivities' since, in consequence of their pertinacity, they ever and again tend to become the conditions for the arising of ever new sensuous greed, etc.” Visuddhi Magga XXII, 60

Yamaka VII, first determines in which beings such and such proclivities exist, and which proclivities, and with regard to what, and in which sphere of existence. Thereafter it gives an explanation concerning their overcoming, their penetration, etc. Cf. F. Guide VI (vii). According to Kathāvatthu several ancient Buddhist schools erroneously held the opinion that the anusayas, as such, meant merely latent, hence kammically neutral qualities, which however Contradicts the Theravāda conception. Cf. F. Guide V, 88, 108, 139.
