Also called Three Obstacles. They are the obstructions that hinder the attainment of Buddhahood. When the Three Obstructions are cleared, the Three Virtues will be perfected. The Three Obstructions are:
- Affliction obstruction - e.g. due to Three Poisons, i.e. greed, hatred and stupidity.
- Karma obstruction - e.g. due to Five Offenses, and Ten Unwholesome Deeds, i.e. the Karma in the past.
- Retribution obstruction - e.g. the suffering retribution in Three Evil Paths.
