obscurations (Skt: avarana)
Also known as obstructions; the negative imprints left on the mind by negative karma and delusion, which obscure the mind. The disturbing-thought obscurations (Tib: nyön-drib) obstruct attainment of liberation and the more subtle obscurations to knowledge (Tib: she-drib) obstruct the attainment of enlightenment.
