“ Moments of Awakening “ is a page created by Allan O'Marra ; It’s a series of paintings that metaphorically illustrate moments of transcendence on the path to the realization of enlightenment.
The Buddha likened the 5 hindrances to 5 kinds of impurities affecting a bowl of water, preventing one from seeing one's own reflection as it really is & they are :
- Sensual Desire or Greed
- Aversion or Ill-will
- Sloth and Torpor
- Restlessness and Anxiety
- Doubt
Sensual Desire or Greed : is like a colorful water surface colored by paint, that interferes with our ability to see clearly.
Aversion or Ill-will : is like a bubbling, boiling water surface that obscures our ability to see clearly.
Sloth and Torpor : is like a stagnant water surface that obscures our ability to see clearly.
Restlessness and Anxiety : is like a churned up water surface with waves that interferes with our ability to see clearly.
Doubt : is like a muddy water surface that clouds our ability to see clearly.
