The five aggregates, or us, are life
Life : Comprising body and mind (rūpa
and nāma)
Kamma : Deliberate, 1) the body, or rūpa, arises from the
intentional, activities
concocting of the earth, water, fire, and air
elements
2) the mind, or nāma, can be divided into
four operations, thus:
I) when there are feelings of satisfaction
or dissatisfaction, or neither/nor that
pleasant or unpleasant feeling, which is
called vedanā
II) when there’s recognition or the
regarding of something as being this or
that, it’s called saññā, perception
III) when there’s thinking about
anything, it’s called sankhāra
IV) when there’s clear awareness via the
eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or the mind,
that’s called viññāna
These are called panca khandha (the five aggregates) consisting in
one rūpa (the body) and four nāma (the mind), that is
1) rūpa khandha (the body)
2) vedanā khandha (feeling)
3)saññā khandha (perception)
4)sankhāra khandha (thinking)
5)viññāna khandha (awareness) ...I can let go 25
