Referencing Ayya Khema’s book “Being Nobody, Going Nowhere,” this talk overviews the Five Hindrances. The Five Hindrances are emotional coverings. The mind and heart are naturally peaceful and open, but through karma and habit and living, this brightness gets covered over.
Norman reviews the fourth discussion of the Five Hindrances for an audience at Spirit Rock, then discusses antidotes to restlessness and worry & skeptical doubt.
