This talk will cover the obstacles of meditation practice and fully experiencing the Buddhist lifestyle (path). There are five styles of habitual reaction, known as the Five Hindrances, that keep us off track on our journey. There are both part of being human and the journey of life, and contrariwise, they are ingrained obstacles that impede access to mindful decision-making. These habit energies tend to detour us from true awareness and happiness. The Five Hindrances are desire, ill will, sloth, restlessness, and doubt. What is your base habitual pattern? Shin teacher Rev. G. Lewis-Bastías will present the Five Hindrances using stories and explain how to unravel them in our daily lives.
