The ever-binding factors; fetters. Those categories of delusions that are responsible for making repeated obstacles for one's mind during meditation on calm-abiding ([ṡamatha]) and equanimity ([upekṣā]/ {btang snyoms}). There are four (see {kun dkris bzhi}) and three levels of wrong activities which can be categorized as follows. If a wrong activity is committed fulfilling all the four factors, such a wrong activity becomes great; if only the first, i.e. not regarding a breach as a fault, is present and the others are absent, such a wrong activity becomes middling; and if all other three are present, except not regarding a breach as fault, it becomes weak.
