Description:

In this second episode of a three part series on enlightenment, Anna relates her experience of meeting enlightened teachers in India. Kristina and Anna discuss the ten hinderances that keep us from waking-up. These ten hinderances, or “enemies,” were discovered by Buddha 2,500 years ago and still ring true today.

Also discussed today: the three types of Buddhas (enlightened ones), and our decision to post ads.
