Episode 15 (Season 2: Episode 9)


On the Modern Buddha Podcast, out now on Spotify, Khristal covers 'The Fives', or the five precepts, five hindrances, and five fetters of Buddhism.


Episode Fifteen (season 2, episode 9) covers the common 'fives' of Buddhism.

The 'Five Precepts' are vows of morality a layperson takes to enter the spiritual path in Buddhism. The 'Five Hindrances' are the obstacles most often encountered on the path that stifle the beginnings of any spiritual endeavor (also see Antaraya Karma-ep. #42 & 43), and the 'Five Fetters' or kleshas that challenge spiritual growth and enlightenment (also see The Four Stages of Awakening #13)
