In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
N (Laziness (thina); Torpor (middha)).
sloth and torpor; Sloth and torpor are two akusala cetasikas which are classified as a pair among the hindrances. When they arise there is mental indisposition and unwieldiness. They have the same proximate cause, namely, unwise attention. When there are sloth and torpor there is no energy, no vigour for kusala, and thus they obstruct kusala. When there are sloth and torpor one has no confidence in the development of right understanding.
One of the six Kamacchandas;
'sloth and torpor',
constitute the 3rd of the 5 hindrances (nīvarana, q.v.).
They may or may not, be associated with greedy consciousness (s. Tab. 23. 25, 27, 29 and II).
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).
