Auddhatya (Sanskrit; Pali: uddhacca; Tibetan phonetic: göpa ) is a Buddhist term that is translated as "excitement", "restlessness", etc. In the Theravada tradition, uddhacca is defined as a mental factor that is characterized by disquietude, like water whipped by the wind.[1] In the Mahayana tradition, auddhatya is defined as a mental factor that causes our mind to fly off from an object and recollect something else.[2][3]
Auddhatya is identified as:
- One of the fourteen unwholesome mental factors within the Theravada Abhidharma teachings
- One of the twenty secondary unwholesome factors within the Mahayana Abhidharma teachings
- One of the five hindrances to meditation (in combination with kukkucca)
- One of the five faults or obstacles to shamatha meditation within the Mahayana teachings.
- One of the ten fetters in the Theravada tradition[4]
