Karmāvaraṇa
(Redirected from Karma-āvaraṇa)
karmāvaraṇa (T. las kyi sgrib pa). Translated as "karmic obscurations," "karmic negativities," etc. Obscurations or obstructions caused by past deeds that prevent progress on the path to awakening in the present.[1] These include obstructions arising from the five acts with immediate retribution accumulated in the past or present life.[1]
Mueller, et al, state:
- The hindrances to accurate cognition and spontaneous ethical behavior that are the result of prior unwholesome behavior.[2]
Mipham Rinpoche states:
མཚམས་མེད་ལྔ་དང་ཆོས་སྤོང་སོགས་བྱས་པས་བདེན་པ་མཐོང་མི་ནུས་པ་ལས་ཀྱི་སྒྲིབ་པ་
The 'veil of karma' is the inability to perceive the truths because of having committed such things as the five acts with immediate result or having abandoned the Dharma.[1]
One of "three types of obscuration" (trīṇi āvaraṇāni) in East Asian Buddhism.
