'''Laziness''' (Skt. ''kauśīdya''; Tib. [[ལེ་ལོ་]], [[Wyl.]] ''le lo'') — one of the [[five faults]] and [[twenty subsidiary disturbing emotions]]. It is a fault because it prevents us from even beginning the practice of [[meditation]] and prevents [[diligence]]. It is of [[three kinds of laziness|three kinds]].

==Three Causes of Laziness==
The ''[[Bodhicharyavatara]] (VII, 3)'' mentions three causes of laziness:

#savouring the pleasurable taste of idleness, out of attachment to the pleasures of distraction and a failure to exert yourself in virtue;
#an indulgence in sleepiness and an increasing desire to lie in bed upon your pillow; and 
#the failure to be saddened by the sufferings of [[samsara]].

==Three Kinds of Laziness ([[ལེ་ལོ་གསུམ་]], ''le lo gsum'')==
#the laziness of lethargy or inactivity ([[སྙོམ་ལས་འཛིན་པའི་ལེ་ལོ་]], ''snyom las 'dzin pa'i le lo'')
#the laziness of attachment to negative behaviour ([[བྱ་བ་ངན་པ་ཞེན་གྱི་ལེ་ལོ་]], ''bya ba ngan pa zhen gyi le lo'')
#the laziness of self-discouragement or despondency ([[སྒྱིད་ལུག་བདག་ཉིད་བརྙས་པའི་ལེ་ལོ་]], ''sgyid lug bdag nyid brnyas pa'i le lo'')

==Overcoming the Three Kinds of Laziness==
[[Patrul Rinpoche]] says:
:Spurred on by the hook of [[impermanence]], you can overcome the laziness of inactivity. The laziness of attachment to negative behaviour can be overcome by thinking about the joys of the sacred [[Dharma]]. The laziness of self-discouragement can be overcome by encouraging yourself and bolstering your self-confidence.
