5 Hindrances: How to Surmount them to Develop Samādhi & Insight | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Ajahn Dhammasiha reflects on skilfull means to overcome the 5 hindrances (Pañca Nīvaraṇā).

It is exactly these 5 obstructions which stop our mind from unifying in samādhi, and weaken our wisdom:

1. Sensual desire (kāmacchanda)


2. Ill Will / Anger / Aversion (byāpāda)


3. Laziness / Tiredness / Sloth & Torpor / Lack of energy (thīna-middha)


4. Restlessness & remorse (uddhacca-kukkucca)


5. Doubt / Wavering / Vacillation (vicikicchā)
