In this talk, Bhante elaborates on Numerical Discourses, the Book of Fives, sutta nos. 51 and 52. Both suttas deal with the five hindrances, the primary obstacles to the achievement of samadhi and insight. Bhante explains the meaning of each hindrance and the methods the Buddha and the commentators recommend for overcoming them.
