Five Hindrances

On this second night of the retreat, pancanivarana, the five hindrances, were described; their causes and their antidotes.

This is the last of the talks about the five hindrances in our series of dialogues reviewing the Satipatthana Sutta.  Skeptical Doubt is perplexity and a lack of confidence as a condition of the mind.  In the discussion, the role of the Five Powers was also reviewed.
