The eight incidental circumstances which make Dharma impossible (Tib. འཕྲལ་བྱུང་རྐྱེན་གྱི་མི་ཁོམས་བརྒྱད་, tral jung kyen gyi mikhom gyé, Wyl. ‘phral byung rkyen gyi mi khoms brgyad) are:
- being misled by corrupting influences
- the five poisons raging inside
- when negative karma overtakes us
- being distracted by laziness
- being enslaved
- practising out of fear
- merely pretending to practise
- being chronically senseless and stupid
Longchenpa’s Wish-Fulfilling Treasury explains:
- Being disturbed by the five poisons, deluded, and possessed by the maras,
- Being lazy and letting the sea of evil karma overflow,
- Being controlled by others, seeking shelter from fear, and pretending to be dharmic―
These are the eight unfree states due to temporary conditions. (Aka Eight incidental circumstances which make Dharma impossible) [1]
