| The seven sin-causing ties. |
These invisible ties connect a human body and his spirit. Through these ties, information on the body's needs is transmitted to the spirit, who will decide what to do in order to satisfy the material body.
Body's satisfaction often causes a person to commit sins. That is why Caodaism calls them sin-causing ties.
When a person dies, these ties keep holding the spirit, preventing it from going to Heaven. In a funeral rite, Caodaist dignitaries perform Phép Đoạn Căn (the Cutting Sacrament) to free the spirit.
