I use the definition of Three Doors posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buddhism/comments/6rrbl8/any_commentaries_on_the_three_doors_of_liberation/dl7h0e1/ To me, it looks like there is a connection: * Desire for existence in the realm of form * Desire for existence in the immaterial realms They are about the tension between being and non-being. In other words, existence or non existence of the self, and that pretty much is **Emptiness** of the self. * Conceit The conceit "I am... (this or that)". This looks related to **Signlessness** (there are no inherent attributes). * Restlessness Seems related to **Wishlessness**. * Ignorance This kind of encompasses everything. Of course, the Three Doors are related to the Three Characteristics too. * Emptiness -> no-self. * Signlessness -> impermanence. * Wishlessness -> unsatisfactoriness. I am understanding the fetters wrong and making up the relation or does this makes sense? I'm trying to understand them as good as I can.
