Nirvana & the fall of the 5 Hinderances

Upvote:0

What more is Nirvana than the perminant fall of The Five Hinderances?

Theravada doctrine is that it's the eradication of the "10 fetters".

The Vimuttimagga (according to Wikipedia) says that "the five hindrances include all ten fetters".

5 Hindrances can be suppressed in Jhana. As one is not yet fully liberated when in Jhana though the 5 Hinadraces are suppressed, one accumulates both positive and negative karma.
