Eight antidotes or remedies (Tib. འདུ་བྱེད་བརྒྱད་, du ché gyé; Wyl. '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 (Tib. མོས་པ་, möpa).
- 2. Exertion (Tib. རྩོལ་བ་, tsolwa).
- 3. Faith (Tib. དད་པ་, dépa).
- 4. Pliancy, or flexibility (Tib. ཤིན་སྦྱངས་, shinjang).
- 5. The fifth antidote, which is the antidote to the second fault, forgetting the instructions or the object of focus, is mindfulness (Tib. དྲན་པ་, drenpa).
- 6. The sixth antidote, which is the antidote to dullness and agitation, is awareness (Tib. ཤེས་བཞིན་, shé shyin).
- 7. The seventh antidote, which is the antidote to the forth fault, under-application, is attention (Tib. སེམས་པ་, sempa).
- 8. The eighth antidote, which is the antidote to the fifth fault, over-application, is equanimity (Tib. བཏང་སྙོམས་, tang nyom).
