Against The Stream - A podcast by Noah Levine - Mondays
Categories:
The promise of Buddhism is that it is possible to not suffer about the pain and difficulties in our life. What hinders your ability to not suffer? The buddha gave a list of the 5 hindrances: 1. Craving for pleasure 2. Aversion to pain 3. Restlessness, anxiousness, and impatience 4. Laziness and procrastination 5. Self-doubt and unworthiness Mindfulness allows us to slow down and name these hindrances without allowing them to overtake us and cause us suffering.
