'''Cognitive obscurations''' (Skt. ''jñeyavaraṇa''; Tib. [[ཤེས་བྱའི་སྒྲིབ་པ་]], [[ཤེས་སྒྲིབ་]], ''shé drip''; [[Wyl.]] ''shes sgrib'') are defined according to their essence, cause and function.

In '''essence''', they are thoughts that involve the three conceptual ‘spheres’ of subject, object and action. The ''[[Gyü Lama]]'' says:

:"Thoughts that involve the three spheres,<br>
:These are the cognitive obscurations."<br>

Their '''cause''' is grasping at phenomena as truly existent, or, in other words, the “self of phenomena”.

Their '''function''' is to prevent complete enlightenment.

==The Elimination of the Cognitive Obscurations==
According to [[Mipham Rinpoche]], the cognitive obscurations are overcome in their imputation (''kun btags'') aspect at the [[path of seeing]] and in their innate (''lhan skyes'') aspect on the [[path of meditation]]. Complete enlightenment is reached when the most subtle cognitive obscurations--which are habitual tendencies--are overcome by means of what is called the “vajra-like samadhi,” at the end of the tenth [[bhumi]].
