Mrakśa (Sanskrit; Tibetan phonetic: chabpa) is a Buddhist term translated as "concealment" or "slyness-concealment". It is defined as concealing or covering up one's faults or uncommendable actions, from either oneself or others.[1][2] It is one of the twenty subsidiary unwholesome mental factors within the Mahayana Abhidharma teachings.
What is slyness-concealment? It is to perpetuate a state of unresolvedness because of its association with dullness and stubbornness [gti-ruug] when one is urged towards something positive. Slyness-concealment has the function of preventing one from making it clean break with it and feeling relieved.[1]
Alan Wallace states: "Concealment from one's own vices is a type of delusion that stems from ignorance. This includes self-concealment."[3]
