17.p71

“‘Good men, if a monk in training desires to do the above, he’ll look for a peaceful place before eliminating five hindrances. What are the five? The hindrances of desire, anger, sleepiness, agitation, and doubt. If a trainee monk seeks the above place of safety before ceasing the five hindrances, he won’t be capable of diligently cultivating the four abodes of mindfulness or the seven factors of awakening. Attaining the state of the superior man and developing noble wisdom will be impossible for someone seeking to know and see them.
