1. Rangjung Yeshe Dictionary

outer, inner and innermost obstacles. To explain the outer, inner and innermost obstacles: the outer obstacles are disturbances of the four elements; the machinations of the Mara of the Lord of Death and the Mara of the Aggregates; disease, famine and warfare; and the dread of rebirth, death, and the bardo. The inner are obstacles for the channels, energies and essences; the machinations of the Mara of Emotions; and the deluded perceptions of desire, anger, and dullness. The innermost are the obstacles of the deluded concepts of perceiver and perceived; the machinations of the Mara of the Divine Child; and the hindrance for the state of omniscience. [DILGO KHYENTSE]
