THE FIVE AGGREGATES OF SUFFERING (PANCAKKHANDO)
What we think it is me, mine and myself is actually only five aggregates:
Body (Rupa), and mind which is made up of four components:
Feelings (Vedana), Perception (Sanna), Mental Formations (Sankhara) and Consciousness (Vinnana).
The five grasped – at groups are suffering:
Rupupadanakkhando – the grasped-at group of the body
Vedanupadanakkhando – the grasped-at group of feeling
Sannupadanakkhando – the grasped-at group of perception
Sankharupadanakkhando – the grasped-at group of mental formation
Vinnanupadanakkhando – the grasped-at group of consciousnessThe Buddha taught:
Rupam aniccam – the body is impermanent
Vedana aniccam – feelings are impermanent
Sanna aniccam – perception is impermanent
Sankhara aniccam – mental formations are impermanent
Vinnanam aniccam – consciousness is impermanent
Rupam anatta – body is not self
Vedana anatta – feeling is not self
Sanna anatta – perception is not self
Sankhara anatta – mental formation is not self
Vinnanam anatta – consciousness is not self
All conditioned Phenomena are impermanent, all Dhammas are not self!
