> How are the 10 fetters being destroyed?

To breaking the circuit of 10 fetters, the practitioner has to destroy by [the continuous understanding](https://unmixedtheravada.blogspot.com/search/label/Pa%E1%B9%ADiccasamupp%C4%81da) the circuit, paṭiccasamuppāda, of 10 fetters [as they are](https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/a/26702/10100).

In [breaking of circuit](http://www.84000.org/tipitaka/pitaka2/v.php?B=16&A=33&Z=87&eng=buddhavacana), paṭiloma-paṭiccasamuppāda, Buddha taught to destroy the last fetter, avijjā and taṇhā&upādāna, to break the whole circuit. But most some people can not immediately destroy avijjā and taṇhā&upādāna.

So, in [10 fetters](http://www.84000.org/tipitaka/read/v.php?B=24&A=418&Z=427&eng=buddhavacana), Buddha describe more explanation of those avijjā and taṇhā&upādāna as 10 fetters, 10 saṃyojana. And Buddha arranged that 10 fetters from the easiest-to-destroy to the hardest-to-destroy. So, someone, who can not destroy avijjā and taṇhā&upādāna at only one time, will try to destroy the easier-to-destroy fetters (such as uddhambhāgiya-saṃyojana) instead, step by step.

By this way, people can more easily destroy avijjā and taṇhā&upādāna, by beginning at destroying 3 orambhāgiya-fetters, which are diṭṭhi-upādāna/sīpabata-upādāna/attvāda-upādāna-paṭiccasamuppāda, =iterations of bhava&vibhava-taṇhā-paṭiccasamuppāda, and ignoring [avijjā] of causes&effects in paṭiccasamuppāda. After they destroyed these 3 fetters, the 7 left fetters will certainly destroy in the future, not over more than 7 rebirth according to Sutta. Aṅ. (3): chakkanipātā, Paṭhama-[abhabbaṭṭhānasuttaṃ](http://84000.org/tipitaka/read/roman_read.php?B=22&A=10315&eng=metta_e) and the suttas around it.

> Can the chain of fetters be seen during vipassana meditation?

Yes, according to Sutta. Saṃ. Ma. [Dhammacakkappavattanasutta](http://www.84000.org/tipitaka/read/v.php?B=19&A=10037&Z=10104&eng=buddhavacana), the practitioner have to clearly understand [the 4 noble truths](http://www.84000.org/tipitaka/read/v.php?B=14&A=9020&Z=9160&eng=accesstoinsight_than), which included 10 fetters in the 2nd noble truth, already.
