Uddhambhāgiyasutta

Higher Fetters

“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, uddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.
“Mendicants, there are five higher fetters.

Katamāni pañca?
What five?

Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā—
Desire for rebirth in the realm of luminous form, desire for rebirth in the formless realm, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.
These are the five higher fetters.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo.
The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.

Katamo ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo?
What is the noble eightfold path?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ.
It’s when a mendicant develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabboti.
This is the noble eightfold path that should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.”

amatogadhaṁ amataparāyanaṁ amatapariyosānaṁ …
“… which culminate, finish, and end in freedom from death …”

nibbānaninnaṁ nibbānapoṇaṁ nibbānapabbhāraṁ.
“… which slant, slope, and incline to extinguishment.
