Buddhism Talks: Five Blocks for Meditation (Pañca Nīvaraṇā)

The Buddha spoke of five states of mind and experience which can hinder our meditation practice and development of wisdom. There were called the five hindrances, or pañca nīvaraṇā in the classic texts language: desire, hatred, lethargy/drowsiness, remorse/agitation, doubt. In this video our teacher goes through each of them, with simple suggestions on understanding and overcoming them. www.plantationvilla.com Instagram@plantationvilla
