SN 47.95–104 Higher Fetters, Etc. – Uddhambhāgiyādisutta

 

(To be expanded as in SN 45.171–179, with the following as the final discourse.) “Bhikkhū, there are five higher fetters.

“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, uddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.

What five?

Katamāni pañca?

Desire for rebirth in the realm of luminous form, desire for rebirth in the formless realm, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance.

Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā—

These are the five higher fetters.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.

The four kinds of mindfulness meditation should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā.

What four?

Katame cattāro?

It’s when a bhikkhu meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ;

They meditate observing an aspect of feelings …

vedanāsu …pe…

mind …

citte …pe…

principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.

These four kinds of mindfulness meditation should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.”

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya ime cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā”ti.

 

Dasamaṁ.

(The Linked Discourses on Mindfulness Meditation should be expanded as in the Linked Discourses on the Path.)

(Yathā maggasaṁyuttaṁ tathā satipaṭṭhānasaṁyuttaṁ vitthāretabbaṁ.)

 

Oghavaggo dasamo.

Floods, bonds, grasping,
