5 lower mental chains

The five lower mental chains (the first 5 of the 10 hindrances to enlightenment):
1. The belief in a permanent personality / ego
2. Doubt / extreme skepticism
3. Clinging to rites, rituals, and ceremonies
4. Attachment to sense desires
5. Ill-will / anger
(from Samyutta Nikaya 45)
