Eight antidotes or remedies (Tib. du ché gyé; 'du byed brgyad), the antidotes to the five faults or obstacles to meditation.
The first four of these are antidotes to laziness:
- 1. Aspiration, or interest (möpa).
- 2. Exertion (tsolwa).
- 3. Faith (dépa).
- 4. Pliancy, or flexibility (shinjang).
- 5. The fifth antidote, which is the antidote to the second fault, forgetting the instructions or the object of focus, is mindfulness (drenpa).
- 6. The sixth antidote, which is the antidote to dullness and agitation, is awareness (shé shyin).
- 7. The seventh antidote, which is the antidote to the forth fault, under-application, is attention (sempa).
- 8. The eighth antidote, which is the antidote to the fifth fault, over-application, is equanimity (tang nyom).
