"There are these ten fetters. Which ten? Five lower fetters and five higher fetters. And which are the five lower fetters? Personality view, doubt, clinging to rules and observaces, sensual desire, and ill will. These are the five lower fetters. And which are the five higher fetters? Passion for form, passion for the formless, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance. These are the five higher fetters. And these are the ten fetters."
