Shi Heng YI  TEDxVitosha
5 Hindrances to Self Mastery (transcript)
Summary 

The speaker is not a native speaker of English, though, everyone must listen to his English easily. It was a slowly impressive low voice. Furthermore, the TED was held at Vitosha which is a mountain massif on the outskirts of Sofia and is one of the symbols of Sofia where the capital of Bulgaria, so the language of Bulgaria is not English. 

When the speaker thought that what was important in this lifetime, the answer was to learn something about himself. It’s to train and develop yourself. To enjoy your time even doing nothing, to find a way and to do the things you like to do.  

There was a man who listened carefully to travelers on how to travel well, though the man never went on a journey, unfortunately. It must be impossible to understand all by only listening, no one tells you which way to go, there is no need to believe anyone or anything. Just, investing the right effort and avoiding hindrances to see clearly and to have the right decisions.  

5 Hindrances that you have to avoid are sensual desires, Ill-will, loss and torpor, restlessness, and skeptical doubt. The speaker hopes that those hindrances don't stop you and you have practiced.
