In the famous discourse on the 'Foundations of Mindfulness' (Satipaṭṭhāna) the Buddha promises us that we can attain Nibbāna or Non-Returning in just 7 days, if we practise as descibed by him.
Why, then, are we still enmeshed in suffering?
Ajahn Dhammasiha describes six obstructions that we have to abandon first - otherwise we're not able to practise Satipaṭṭhāna in the way the Buddha described them:
Delight in Work
Delight in Chatting (including social media!)
Delight in Sleep
Delight in Socialising (including social media!)
Lack of Sense Restraint
Not knowing the Right Measure when Eating
