    1. The society of fast gratification
    2. Too many distractions to the practice
    3. Difficulty in supporting oneself if you are a monk
    1. I let my feelings drag me around too much
    2. I don't have a teacher
    3. I have poor access to books in my own language and bookstores don't carry many buddhist books (usually Dalai Lama stuff; Some guy was making an anthology of the pali canon in Portuguese in two volumes but he died...I have the first volume it was very good. It's a pity he didn't finish the second one, and I doubt there is anybody that can pull it off anytime soon).
