C towards the problems hindering the development of the meditation and liberating insight is often in the form of an n am kind of hindrances. To practice herds can lead to enlightenment can be described as an attempt to overcome the obstacles in this, the first ti Israel is temporary e è compress them to attain Zen-na v à discovered insight, and then gradually gradually tame them permanently elaborately developed through the Eightfold Path. N l am hurdles à what? They are:

Greed (Kamacchanda)
Anger (Vyapada)
sloth (Thina-middha)
Trao election (uddhacca-kukkucca)

1. Greed is the only state to seek pleasure through the five senses of h HIB designs, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings. Greed does not include special wishes to be happy through radicals Friday l à mind.
During an extreme form of radical, greed l à intense desire to t IMP pleasure of working t the household-sex , food delicious or melodious music. It also includes l he desires to replace the uncomfortable feeling or pain in the pleasant feeling, that l à desire is to feel comfortable.

Buddha such as the desire to borrow. The pleasure over the years we have had to return the house through the pain of separation, loss or emptiness hunger, which will pursue m paralyzed after he pleasures e ã consumer devices. As with any debt, always pay more words, and like the Buddha taught that pleasure which is the l à small compared with the pain or have payment plans.
Whilst meditating yogis through heart greed by letting all interested and active in the body of the five senses. Many people believe that the presence of the five senses to serve v à protect the body panels, but in fact, this body exists to serve for n am senses, v ì we staged the world to t IMP for pleasure optimistic. Indeed, the Buddha e ã by saying, "N l am senses the game world " , and to escape the world, to enjoy happiness si -na êu world of Zen (jhana) , we must know detachment and concerns itself n its senses moisture.

When overcome the craving, the student will not mind c ON attention to the promise of pleasures v à also no longer pay any attention to the delight of the body. The body seems to vanish v à n am senses seemed closed. The difference between the c ON depending activity of the five senses v à when passing them as well as differences when we look outside the window and when I looked in the mirror. When the mind is freed from the operation of the five senses can actually be rotating in on the inside and see clearly the true nature of it. Since then, wisdom arose, that I know we l à anyone, from where v à why.
2. Anger is the only state wishes to punish, cause suffering or t Pha. It includes hatred of a person or a circumstance which, v à because it creates a n m antenna power he listed, make it very attractive and appealing. Sometimes it seems justified v ì it has a power to b antenna destructive capabilities of our impartial judge. It also includes l ong hatred itself, often seen as a guilt, deprived of any possibility to create happiness. While h Photopanel meditation, anger often appears as alienation in the meditation object, leaving it to divert my attention wandered through the place.

Buddha for anger as sick people. Disease hinders the freedom of health and happiness. Likewise, hatred hinder the freedom and happiness of peace.
Anger is overcome by the application of l he himself hard. When there is hatred towards n loud, teach contentment we see the other events he ngo event Ai is l I am distressed to see that person why l am suffering we - the often helps us to see the right person is also suffering - v à encourages us to ignore the suffering of the m HIB and view others with compassion. However, if you have not done so, l he himself hard for themselves will also help us not into self-hatred, self-torment of his termination by the memories of the pain. Thus, when v anger at yourself loud, cocky helps us see the error of the m Dinh, encourage ourselves to forgive ourselves, help us to learn through the b who has learned to let go and then them. Next, if we have l ong anger about meditation object - usually l à reason a student does not get an b HIB - kindness will help us stick hard and cherish a tr object IU affection and fun. As mothers often nature loving child, yogis can treat m breath of HIB with the same feeling. Thus, the student can not forget their breath - a meditation object - as can b à could not forget her child while v virtual. From there, student n can not breath loud distraction for a thought to it , and she could not abandon her children m à she is Hold in hand! When l ong hatred is overcome, we will create a li Israel durable system with everyone happily with meditation object, v à from cough that will safely penetrate Zen-na.
3. Sloth is the only state to heavy body v à darkness of the mind, dragging us into a muted enough v à depressed. Buddha was imprisoned for it as in a dark room, cramped, unable to move freely, while the sun is bright outside. While meditating, it makes sense to have only discrete concept, weakness and from there taken to fall asleep during meditation m à I do not know!
Kiss bass is crossed by l n arouse AM antenna force effort. Power capacity at n Training is also available, but few people know how to exploit it. Put an entry purpose, a purpose just right, l à wisely and effectively to generate power, to be inspired v noisy job in hand. A human baby typically has a self-interest in pediatric Israel, and followed by n antenna power, by v ì outside world is very new to me. Thus, if we learn to nh printed in our own lives, or our meditation, in the mind of a beginner ("primary care"), we will always nh print it through the perspective novel and feasible bright, energetic with v à diligently, far from depressed state. Similarly, we can create excitement in what is l am by training ideas to nh Print is beauty in ordinary things. Since then , the interest arises, inevitably half dead state of dullness.
Consciousness has two main tasks: "what to do" (agents) and "knowledge" (knowledge workers). Meditation is so l am pacify "the do" to achieve absolute safety while maintain ì "knowledge" . Sloth happens when careless student pacify "the making" and "knowledge" , can not n antenna to distinguish them.

Sloth is a problem very common problem, and then slowly spread to cover p UM student center. A student must know to watch skillful, immediately detecting signs nipple Israel's sloth, getting them to v à must react promptly deal. Just like when we come ng ã three lines, we can choose a way for the mind away dullness. Sloth l à an unpleasant state of mind and body, too hard deposits can not v loud serenity of Zen-na, and the blind can not discover the Wisdom. In summary, this ho safety is a waste of time.
4. Trao election is to just state the mind c apes volleyball photos, never be at peace now wherever. It was created from the state t IMP error in mind, never be satisfied with things as they really are, and how to zoom out to find the better promises, always look elsewhere.
Buddha for Trao sent as a slave, in order to continue running the always tough boss dd demanded perfection, and thus never allowing it to be at rest.

Trao election be overcome by developing the know enough (contentment), as opposed to the t IMP error. I happily learn simply through the h Ai with little hearts, not always e demanded for more. I feel grateful for the present moment, rather than to find its defects. As an example, exchange sent meditation is often impatient wish to fast-v noisy during the next period. However, the fastest growing level usually occurs for n student said loud just be satisfied with what they achieved even in the present. V ì have contentment, satisfied that e ã ripening to go v noisy during the next period. For n Israel, we must be careful about the attitude of "l am quick to finish "and instead , it is necessary to learn to rest in a state of h Ai love and contentment. Doing so, "what to do" will disappear and sophisticated meditation will flower.
Regret is a state movement's special election, l à karma of the evil deed. The only way to overcome regrets, appointed by the Trao guilty conscience, l à must keep the faith, to live kindly, wise v à tender. Some people have no morals or life let loose th ì could not have been the result of the depth h taking walking.
5. Doubts as to indicate satiety center i asked many questions troubled student in need quiet time to progress deeper v noisy mind. Doubt creates questions about the possibility n my antenna: "l do not know I am being this? "h or legal questions about him, "Do not know how this is true? ", or even question of the meaning: "The g ì here? ". It must be remembered that the question l à obstacles in meditation, because we did not set the correct time, v à thus become invasive, overshadowing pure perception.
Buddha for doubt as get lost in the desert, did not recognize the landmark points. The suspect was overcome by collecting t Cleaning the clear instructions, have a good map, to help us see the subtle point mark v app unfamiliar land of deep meditation, v à from knowing which way to go. Doubts about the ability of the m HIB can be overcome by feeding l he is confident with a good teacher. The teacher is like a sports coach can n antenna convince the transport activities of Israel that they can succeed. The Buddha taught that each of us can, and will elect Zen-na v à enlightenment if we practice his instructions carefully and patiently. Only an uncertainty l à "did not know until n loud "! Experience meditation also helps to overcome the doubters n my antenna v A on the line h Photopanel direction. When we realize this, the self-phase fine the way, we discover that in fact we have the highest potential, v à l right here à the road take us to that purpose.

Doubtful - in the form of regular inspection, "Is this Zen-na? I get results anywhere? " - Be overcome by the realization that such questions n Israel postponed until the end, in the last few minutes of meditation. T The jury burst into court only decided in the ng laughs trial, when the evidence e ã is tr HIB presentation. Likewise, a skilled meditator knows just quietly collected all the evidence, and only in the last minute approval to explore its meaning.

In meditation, doubts vanish completely when the mind completely believe in the silence, not even mess with quote dialogue in Israel. Just as we have a t one tears talented people we fully believe that v à sit quietly on the journey.

From there, yogis know how to explain the chemistry, applied carefully, overcome obstacles to progress v noisy high level deeper meditation.
