This week we continue to read from a sutta in which the Buddha talks about the five lower fetters - tendencies of the mind which keep us from awakening - and how to let go of them: namely by practicing the jhanas, steps of deep meditation. The sutta is called Mahamalunkya Sutta, or ‘The Longer Discourse With Māluṅkya’. We’re reading it from Bhante Sujato’s translation on suttacentral.net: https://suttacentral.net/mn64/en/sujato
