The obstacle of karma refers to hindrances to our faith and practice that result from our evil acts in this life. In this passage from “Letter to the Brothers,” opposition from those close to one, such as one's spouse or children, is cited as a specific example.
The four devils are (1) the hindrance of the five components, obstructions caused by one's physical and mental functions; (2) the hindrance of earthly desires, obstructions arising from the three poisons; (3) the hindrance of death, meaning one's own untimely death obstructing one's practice of Buddhism, or the ...
The three obstacles are: (1) the obstacle of earthly desires; (2) the obstacle of karma (the negative actions or offenses we commit in this life); and (3) the obstacle of retribution (the negative effects of our actions in past lives, or karma).
The three obstacles are (1) the obstacle of earthly desires, (2) the obstacle of karma, and (3) the obstacle of retribution. The four devils are (1) the hindrance of the five components, (2) the hindrance of earthly desires, (3) the hindrance of death, and (4) the hindrance of the devil king.
The obstacle of retribution describes impediments to our Buddhist practice that are due to the difficult circumstances into which we are born or have come to live. These are considered adverse rewards or reckoning that stem from bad karma formed in past lifetimes.

An obstacle (also called a barrier, impediment, or stumbling block) is an object, thing, action or situation that causes an obstruction. Different types of obstacles include physical, economic, biopsychosocial, cultural, political, technological and military.
Patanjali's five hindrances refer to conditions that block our personal development. The hindrances are identified as: avidya (ignorance), sense of personality, desire, hate, and sense of attachment. It may seem confusing to us that a sense of personality is a hindrance to personal development.
They are (1) the devil of the five components ( skandha-māra), or hindrances arising from the five components of life; (2) the devil of earthly desires (klesha-māra), hindrances arising from earthly desires; (3) the devil of death (also called the devil death, mrityu-māra), the hindrance arising from the death of ...
The Lotus Sutra teaches that those who uphold its teachings will endure persecution, the greatest of which will be brought about by the “three powerful enemies,” described as: 1) arrogant lay people; 2) arrogant priests; and 3) arrogant false sages.
e Buddha has taught that there are three roots of evil: greed, hatred and delusion.
four sufferings ［四苦］ ( shi-ku): The four universal sufferings: birth, aging, sickness, and death. Various sutras describe Shakyamuni's quest for enlightenment as motivated by a desire to find a solution to these four sufferings.
They are the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering. More simply put, suffering exists; it has a cause; it has an end; and it has a cause to bring about its end.

Deriving from a Zen proverb, the phrase 'the obstacle is the path' refers to the idea that no obstacle can be navigated just by avoidance; you must tackle it head-on. This school of thought insists that obstacles actually present opportunities for improvement.
Obstacles are the stumbling blocks that prevent you from reaching your goals. They are the limiting factors that hinder you from achieving your desired dreams, and you have to overcome these obstacles to move further in life. It's not enough to set goals; you need to actualize your goals.
Engage, strength, fight, battle, those are the things we need to overcome that barrier, and the word “challenge” seems appropriate to call a barrier. If you use obstacle, look how it is defined: obstructs or hinders. That sounds as a negation and a stall on overcoming that barrier.
“The biggest obstacle to happiness is undervaluing what you have and overvaluing what others have.”
Excessive Worry – Living in the future
On the other side is living in the future, ruminating over the possibilities, feeling worried and anxious about the possible challenges or consequences in the future. This kind of excessive worry does not allow you to make plans and take effective actions to build a bright future.
The biggest obstacle to personal and team success is the ego. It can lull us into thinking we are better than we are, it can block us from accepting better ideas, and it can turn away the very people who could help us succeed.
In schools that believe in rebirth, every living being's soul transmigrates (recycles) after death, carrying the seeds of Karmic impulses from life just completed, into another life and lifetime of karmas. This cycle continues indefinitely, except for those who consciously break this cycle by reaching moksha.
The doctrine of karma implies that one person's karma cannot have an effect on another person's future. Yet, while karma is in theory specific to each individual, many aspects of Indian religions reflect the widely held belief that karma may be shared.
