Phillip Moffitt	Download Listen
The hindrances are mental states that obstruct our ability to practice. In various distinct ways, they disrupt concentration and distort awareness so that when they occur we are unable to see things as they are. These states bring challenges yet as our practice deepens and matures, they in fact become allies on the path.
