The Buddha describes the three elements of escape - renunciation, formless existence and cessation.

The formless existence is more peaceful than the form realm. Yet, cessation is more peaceful than the formless existence.

The five higher fetters - 1) Passion for worldly existence, 2) passion for formless existence, 3) conceit, 4) restlessness, and 5) ignorance - are described in brief. The Noble Eightfold Path is the way for direct knowledge, full understanding, complete exhaustion, and giving up of these five higher fetters.
