Seeking the Five Fetters
Just a short "Q":
Can anyone show me where the five lesser fetters and the five greater fetters are expressively addressed by the Buddha in the doctrines of the Tipitaka? I would like to understand what they are. Thank you.

Here's a sutta for you....
AN 10.13 - Sanyojana Sutta: Fetters
"There are these ten fetters. Which ten? Five lower fetters & five higher fetters.
And which are the five lower fetters? Self-identity views, uncertainty, grasping at precepts & practices, sensual desire, & ill will. These are the five lower fetters.
And which are the five higher fetters? Passion for form, passion for what is formless, conceit, restlessness, & ignorance. These are the five higher fetters.
And these are the ten fetters."

Much gratitude, Dhamma Dhatu.
This will be very useful doctrine to contemplate.
