Fifth, discarding the hindrance of doubt: because of being veiled by doubt, one cannot attain a concentrated mind with regard to phenomena. Because a concentrated mind is lacking, one gains nothing at all within the Buddha-Dharma, just like a person entering a mountain of jewels who, lacking hands, is unable to take anything. Furthermore, general doubt is very broad and does not necessarily obstruct concentration. What specifically obstructs concentration now refers to three kinds of doubt: first, doubt regarding oneself; second, doubt regarding the teacher; third, doubt regarding the teaching.
