Divine Intervention: A Spiritual Turning Point

My new teacher, a Zen master, arrived as I was in recovery from a major existential crisis. His wisdom became a lifeline, shifting my perspective in ways I hadn’t expected. In a moment of surrender, David Ji’s teachings appeared “out of nowhere” and at the perfect moment. This journey led me to explore the concept of the “Kleshas.” Known as the “five obstacles” in yogic and Buddhist philosophy, they are believed to be the root causes of human suffering, clouding our understanding and leading to attachment, aversion, and pain.
