In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Dhamma Dana: Pali English GlossaryM The fact to become aware of the perishable character of all things.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraĀdīnava (आदीनव) refers to the “great hindrances”, representing one of the various works of Māra, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 10).—Accordingly, “[Question: What are the works of Māra?]—[Answer].—[...] Finally, the great hindrances (ādīnava), impure attachments to the world, that is all the work of Māra. Hatred of the good, scorn of nirvāṇa and of the path to nirvāṇa are also the work of Māra. Plunging into the ocean of suffering without ever awakening and innumerable errors of this kind are all the work of Māra. When one has rejected and abandoned these, one is mārakarmasamatikrānta”.
Source: WikiPedia: Mahayana BuddhismĀdīnava (आदीनव) refers to the “five faults” connected with śamatha (“access concentration”), according to Kamalaśīla and the Śrāvakabhūmi section of the Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra.—To practice śamatha, one must select an object of observation (ālambana, Tibetan: dmigs-pa). Then one must overcome the five faults (ādīnava, Tibetan: nyes-dmigs).
The the five faults (ādīnava) are:
- laziness (kausīdya, le-lo),
- forgetting the instruction (avavādasaṃmosa, gdams-ngag brjed-pa),
- laxity (laya, bying-ba) and excitement (auddhatya, rgod-pa),
- non-application (anabhisamskāra, ’du mi-byed-pa),
- [over]application (abhisamskāra, ’du byed-pa).
The textual tradition of Tibetan Buddhism identifies five faults (ādīnava) and eight antidotes (pratipakṣa or abhisamskāra) within the practice of śamatha meditation. The five faults identify obstacles to meditation practice, and the eight antidotes are applied to overcome the five faults. This formulation originates with Maitreyanātha's Madhyānta-vibhāga and is elaborated upon in further texts, such as the Stages of Meditation (Bhāvanākrama) by Kamalaśīla
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
