Five Turbidities (Corruptions, Defilements, Depravities, Filths, Impurities)
They are.
1. the defilement of views, when incorrect, perverse thoughts and ideas are predominant;
2. the defilement of passions, when all kinds of transgressions are exalted;
3. the defilement of the human condition, when people are usually dissatisfied and unhappy;
4. the defilement of the life-span, when the human life-span as a whole decreases;
5. the defilement of the world-age, when war and natural disasters are rife.
These conditions, viewed from a Buddhist angle, however, can constitute aids to Enlightenment, as they may spur practitioners to more earnest cultivation.
