Floods, etc.Oghādisutta

“Mendicants, 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 five faculties 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 pañcindriyāni bhāvetabbāni. What five?Katamāni pañca? It’s when a mendicant develops the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddhindriyaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe… paññindriyaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ.

These five faculties 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 imāni pañcindriyāni bhāvetabbānī”ti.
