Saṁyojaniya sutta: Things That Tighten Fetters

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you the things that tighten the fetters, and the fetter. Listen …

What are the things that tighten the fetters? And what is the fetter?

Form is something that tightens the fetters. The desire and greed for it is the fetter.

Feeling …

Perception …

Choices …

Consciousness is something that tightens the fetters. The desire and greed for it is the fetter.

These are called the things that tighten the fetters, and this is the fetter.”
