A Heap of the Unskillful

“Mendicants, rightly speaking, you’d call the five hindrances a ‘heap of the unskillful’.
For these five hindrances are entirely a heap of the unskillful.
What five?
The hindrances of sensual desire, ill will, dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt.
Rightly speaking, you’d call these five hindrances a ‘heap of the unskillful’.
For these five hindrances are entirely a heap of the unskillful.”
