What are the five aggregates?

In aggregates (Skandhas) is a fundamental element or combination of elements to form a man in the eyes of Buddhism. In aggregates, including both physical factors and psychological. In aggregate the origin and foundation of the world. The following chart summarizes the five aggregates.

 

 

In the Aggregate	Ingredients combined
Sac (material: tangible and intangible)	5 University (earth, water, wind, fire, nowhere) and 6 ceiling (color, sound, smell, taste, touch and legal)
Tho (the kind of feeling)	The feeling of pain, touch, and neutral contacts with the five senses.
Ideas (perceptual impression)	Images, language, concepts, ideas for forming ... (actualize) an experience.
Onions (conceptual structure)	Greed, hatred and delusion and many loving heart - others.
Consciousness (cognitive ability, distinction)	Including the mind and the senses of belonging (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body)

 

Why the aggregates is fundamental to the origin and the

When referring to human beings and the world of human beings, Buddha clearly on the mind-body contact through three terms as aggregates (skandha), origin (khandha, ayatana), sex (dhatu). Aggregates include five aggregates as presented. Made 12 categories that include six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and consciousness) and six ceiling, ie six subjects relative to the base (color, sound, smell, taste, touch, and legal or object of consciousness). About 18 types of cover, which is six bases, six ceiling, and six kinds of consciousness of the six senses. For example, understanding eyes meet requires three elements: the eye (optic), a body (rupa), and the direct sense of the eye (world consciousness). Likewise, the whole person including 5 aggregates, 12 origin, and 18 world. The following chart summarizes 18 world:

 

6 Based +	Tran origin + 6 = 12	6 Consciousness = 18 world
The optic (eye)	Rupa (form)	Gender awareness (knowing one's eyes)
Of ear (ear)	Thanh world (sound)	Turkey-consciousness (I know it's ear)
Rate men (nose)	Perfume World (gas odor)	Rate consciousness (I know it's nose)
Damages world (tongue)	The world (taste)	Practical world (I know it's tongue)
Of body (body)	Promotion World (touching)	Body-consciousness (what's known relatives)
The world (consciousness)	France world (objects of sense)	Conscious world (knowing of consciousness)

 

 

Why the aggregates, origin, and gender analysis so meticulously?

 

As insightful observation about the aggregates, origin, and sex, you will have the opportunity to identify the nature of selfless existence of human life without strapping argument. For example, an understanding from the eyes requires three elements: base, ceiling, and consciousness. Depending on your state (flexibility, clarity, or confusion) of the eyes and the sense that a body (the object) is seen differently and lead to different insights. This is also the limit of human understanding of reality. But on the basis of meditation, when you see the multiplicity of an object, you see clearly the nature and origination and selflessness of it. And therefore, you will easily give any habitual clinging ego.

Please tell me more about the nature of the self?

Typically, self identified three categories that is what I (I), mine (mine), and my ego (my self). More simply, is what my ego (self, ego) that each individual self clinging and grasping, and that it is real. Clinging self is the biggest mistake (stupidity) of man. Due grasping ego that man drifting in a sea of ​​craving and aversion. All are suffering because of ego attachment that arise. When meditating deeply on the aggregates themselves, you will see that indeed the nature of the self or ego is an illusion, it arises from the differentiation of vocabulary.

 

In fact, the ego of an individual who is a combination of five aggregates themselves plus a name only. Here, in the achievement of the five aggregates (see question 59), did not have a certain individual ego. What we call the individual ego (individual self) is only formed when the aggregates themselves are named; and therefore, different names will lead to ego clinging different, as different from Mr. B. Mr. A and the absence of meditation, the human body will not regret for the network to protect his identity , especially when it's offended or harmed. Thus, as attachment to the ego, the more individual suffering, and immoral as greed, hatred and delusion, conceit grows. You should remember that, in itself aggregates (form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness) of a human capital is always changing in every moment, we do not bore an individual ego at all, so in stars themselves have gradually spreads to the arid name which itself does not have a special meaning for the true happiness of life by yourself?

If no individual ego, who is one of happiness and suffering?

Due habits ego, clinging to an individual self that we always fear that I will become damaged and will not be forgotten. The truth shows us that happiness which does not need an ego to exist; suffering too. You should look into the fact as follows: Sleep deepest and most peaceful sleep without flickering and sobbing (dreaming) by the mine, mine, and my ego. The happiest moment is the moment to live in peace, silence is not the idea of ​​what I, mine, and what stirs my self consciousness makes you hope, anxiety, and fear. The feeling of peace is a feeling of tranquility that is totally absent in the idea of ​​self, of what I, and my ego.

 

In contrast, the state of suffering will increase when it tied to the idea of ​​me, mine, and my ego, as I lost money, I lose fame, I lose power ... Actually Thus, happiness and suffering is the legal origination, use emptiness of mind to contemplate without necessarily entangled in a self or identity of it.  

 

What is so selfless?

Anatta (non-self) is a major teachings of Buddhism. The main point of the doctrine of non-self can be generalized across three points as follows: a / can not accept a God who makes all the power of sentient life and the natural world (accidentally); b / do not accept every being has a soul eternal and immutable; c / not acceptable can be an individual ego in the same message interdependent world.

 

On the first point-no one accepts God's power to do all your life beings and inadvertently-Buddhism advocates human and human world is due to the operation of the causes and conditions that start training and formation. In particular, the role of human beings decide to suffering and happiness of ourselves through the industry body, speech, and mind.

 

Regarding the second point-we do not accept every student has an eternal soul,-invariant, Buddhism advocates the lives of living beings is due to the mind of every sentient being into effect; and flow of every sentient consciousness flows constantly and always have the ability to change, transform, from ignorance to enlightenment. It is thanks to this ability or the ability to transform this enlightenment, but a crazy mind can be awakened, and that translates into practice by enlightened, or in a life or many lives.

 

Regarding the third point-not acceptable can be an individual ego in the world-the same message origination, Buddhism advocates a mature human being from a collection of causal factors: from father, mother, family, school, social, cultural ... Hence, the existence of a human being is a synthesis of deeds (personal business) and industry (general industry). In a human individual is always conceived many different causal relationship between meaning one and all, and all in one. Here, there is no individual self and be independent of the presence of man, except the collection of causes and conditions as stated in the five aggregates, the twelve bases, and eighteen. These are the basic points of non-self doctrine.

So non-self has nothing to do with Nirvana?

There are two aspects need to be mentioned when discussing the doctrine of non-self, which is the level of practice and level of liberation. On the level of practice, you need to deeply contemplate that man is nothing more than a collection of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness (the five aggregates); in other words, there is a set of psychological factors and physical. And the nature of this factor is very calculated and instant without any particular features a self-independent nature and eternity. Thus, the nature of the aggregates is not (sunyata) or non-self (anatman). On the level of liberation, by the practice of meditation, you can reach a state of complete selflessness, beyond the world of duality discrimination, in which the dualistic notion among us who are attractive and clean , all attachments are let go, and every defilement are washed.
