Hindrances To Awakening October 11 2017

This is my Dhamma talk streamed live every Wednesday at 12 noon eastern US time from October 11, 2017. This talk is on the five common hindrances to awakening taught by the Buddha.

Hindrances or distractions will arise. They will have no permanent effect on your practice if you persevere. Hindrances are recognized mind states to be aware of. Be with them as dispassionately as possible. As long as you continue with your practice, hindrances will arise and subside until they no longer are a part of your conditioned thinking.

By putting aside resistance to meditation practice you will strengthen your resolve and begin to diminish your mind's natural tendency to resist the quiet and spacious mind developed by a true and effective meditation practice.
