Five Aggregates
aggregate: khandha (Pali), skandha (Sanskrit)
https://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/study/khandha.html
- Form — which covers physical phenomena of all sorts, both within and without the body — wears down or "de-forms."
- Feeling feels pleasure, pain, and neither pleasure nor pain.
- vedanakkhandha
- Hedonic tone (Pointing Out Way)
- Perception labels or identifies objects.
- Consciousness cognizes the six senses (counting the intellect as the sixth) along with their objects.
- Of the five khandhas, fabrication is the most complex. Passages in the canon define it as intention, but it includes a wide variety of activities, such as attention, evaluation (§14), and all the active processes of the mind. It is also the most fundamental khandha, for its intentional activity underlies the experience of form, feeling, etc., in the present moment.
