What are the “Five Turbidities?”

The Five Turbidities are listed as 1.) the defilement of views, when incorrect, perverse thoughts and ideas are predominant; 2.) the defilement of passions, when all kinds of transgressions are exalted; 3.) the defilement of the human condition, when people are usually dissatisfied and unhappy; 4.) the defilement of the life-span, when the human life-span as a whole decreases; and 5.) the defilement of the world-age, when war and natural disasters are rife.

It would seem that these are all upon us in this Dharma-Ending Age.
