Five Hindrances Jul 20th 2011, 10:02 Definition: In the Nivarana Sutta of the Pali Canon, the Buddha said there are five hindrances to realizing enlightenment. These are (words in parentheses are in Pali): Sensual desire (kamacchanda) Ill will (vyapada) Sloth, torpor, or drowsiness (thina-middha) Restlessness and worry (uddhacca-kukkucca) Uncertainty or skepticism (vicikiccha) The five hindrances can be overcome through mindfulness, and in particular mindfulness of the four frames of reference -- Mindfulness of body (kayasati). Mindfulness of feelings or sensations (vedanasati). Mindfulness of mind or mental processes (cittasati). Mindfulness of mental objects or qualities (dhammasati).
