A-Lead type

According to Buddhism, the unspeakable suffering of people from ignorance, lack of location. Ignorance is often regarded as the greatest misfortune of beings. The Buddha said: "this the Bhikkhu on stilts, all the fear, frustration, stumble and accidents are so foolish that run. All the things she did not start where are intellectual students, as well as the flame from the dust MOP, dust, grass burn always all homes, lofts and the floor. Also, foolish fire flared up makes the fear, frustration, stumble and accidents are present "(Cpc, Central Business III). The Buddha advised teach people let's become the Sage position by reflecting consistent projection to get the foot was human nature and the universe, thereby extinguishing the flame of intellectual achievement, and kill the suffering.
-Reflecting consistent projection of something? Reflecting consistent projection of how to position the lily and kill the suffering? That is what the Buddha was preaching his lifelong Hong. Such is the thing that the Buddhist dedication for humanity more than 25 centuries.
-For which we need the thought and a projector is the life of our own: humans and the world in which we live. But the people and the world too immense, natural looks great wall condition, colourful colourful clearly knows how to be? For objects of thinking are endless, so must the thinking directions? ... To solve the problem, Buddhism has analyzed, generalized, systematic ones thought as he complicated into the category, the field can capture the, that is, the Origin, Aggregates-i.e. 5 aggregates, 12, 18. The know about Aggregates, Of Gender, that is aware of the nature of the phenomenal world including humans and the world in which people are living.
Within the scope of this article, we will present essential about the 5 aggregates. Thread the five aggregates is mentioned in many places in Tibet and Tibetan traditional in the treatise primitives as well as Australian. The theory of the five aggregates is a way of analyzing, a view on people and the world, but this is not the only way for that is just the most common way. Dew point of the analysis is focused on the five aggregates of people and emphasized the psychological more than physical.

B-contents

I. determine the meaning:
The five aggregates, Sanskrit language as Pãnca-skandha (Sanskrit), Pãnca khandha (Pàli). Pãnca is the year; Khandha is group, is the element that is the accumulation of Xuanzang's translation, the five aggregates; He is Five, Ten Dollar warm means stop masking, obstacle course (covering the foot of Tanh)-the five aggregates are used more commonly.
The five aggregates are the five elements or five groups combined to form the human person; or in other words, man is a combination of elements, including: Sac aggregates (Rùpa) is the physiological factors-physics; Shou aggregates (Vedanà) is the element of feeling; Idea of aggregates (Sãnnã) is the element of perception, is awareness of psychological or sensory object; Onions aggregates (Sankhara) are psychological factors operated out of the life and thought of the psychological motivation to go to create industry and results of career as desires, decisions ... in Italy also called; Formula aggregates (Vinãna) is the element of awareness, detect the presence of objects, including six. Formula as the basis for the life, Ideas and action, according to the study, the consciousness has eight. Is the mind (Citta); Tho, Thought, is the center of the facility (Cetasika).
In the Tibetan Nikàya and A common Function since its aggregates (khandha upàdana Pãnca), meaning the five aggregates is the object of the player, who's craving then called in its aggregates.
II. Content of the five aggregates:
1)-SAC aggregates (Rùpa-khandha): Physical factors include physics-Physiology, there are four basic physical elements is Its (the solid), hydraulic (liquid), fire (heat), Style (a gas). By four elements created in the physiological, such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body; the objects of the senses such as: image colors, sounds, smells and animal contact. In brief as the Buddha said: "the best of chums, stilts Bhikkhu past, current or future position, internal or foreign, international, paralysis or crude or WINS, far or near, so brilliantly aggregates" (Australian Business Jithin Complacency, Central Business III). Physical factors such as body or outside the body, in the matter or energy, in time or space are covered brilliantly aggregates.
The body is brilliantly aggregates, so they are not an independent entity which is a combination of physical changes and conflicts. The body want to survive must slash on the identity element is not of the body such as the Sun, River, rice fields, weather, air ... The viewpoint of Buddhism on the body of physics based on charm, that is clearly about link impenetrable system disconnection between human factors with the natural universe elements include the environment, circumstances. Such is the view of people in a comprehensive manner.
The nature of aggregates is impermanence, egolessness and endless upheaval to reason, Coast so the nature of them is not. The player, body craving (aggregates), or any other physical objects, would also risk suffering. As in the Buddhist scriptures taught, who said that the colors of my is's aggregates, is my ego then surely reap au agony, despair, melancholy, stumble and accidents.
Thanks to clearly see the body through excellent analysis of aggregates brought to deep intellectual psychological craving loss dropped the body off, threads into the SAC aggregates.
2)-Shou aggregates (Vedanà-khandha): Shou is feeling, due to the contact between the senses and objects that the life was born. The Buddha eye: life of six exposed sharp picture that tho, sounds with ears, nose, tongue, body, with its odor with hard objects-soft, with the object of mind. Sense Buddhism does not stop at the level of single exposure that is emotion, a deeper expression of feeling; There are three kinds of feeling: a is feeling miserable, two is feeling happy, feeling unhappy are not suffering.
The feeling of suffering is a kind of feeling uncomfortable when we're exposed to an audience doesn't like, it attached a chain of psychological discomfort, displeasure, keep away from ... For example, when we see a dirty ugly animals, we emerged feeling disgust does not like to look at. Feeling happy is kind of a pleasant, comfortable, excited when we get in contact with an object like Italy, it gives me pleasure, Rapture closer ... Neutral not feeling miserable unhappy, it doesn't make me uncomfortable or feeling good, it does not create a power vacuum or power. For example, when we look at a river, not starting up a gauge or tribe which is just common sense.
The Buddha said: "this master sense what life means, stilts Bhikkhu past, current or future position, internal or foreign, international, paralysis or crude or WINS, far or near, such as Shou aggregates" (our fathers). So, what kind of sense of time, space, deep feeling inside the mind as such, meditation or external sensations through the senses, the sense of intensity strong or weak, are located in the Shou aggregates. The analysis we will see there the feeling coming from the body (aggregates) as eating orgasm password or injury pain; have the feeling comes from the psychology (,) such as meditation or fantasy; have the feeling comes from psychological and physical as enjoying a music or see a picture, or suffering due to circumstances of unhappiness. All these types of life feel he form a sense of psychological life River dominates the system consciousness, they run endless change as long as the variable; they moved the endless variables, impermanence, egolessness and present condition. Accept the seat into the life feelings never wrong and also reap misery.
3)-Idea aggregates (Sãnnã-khandha): The Group's perception has the ability to identify the object is something, it is likely the experience of six and six senses objects of senses. Awareness of objects have two types: one is to recognize the external object as the eye sees colors know it's flower pink, headphone sound tracks recognize...; two is the ability to identify objects, i.e. objects such as psychological concepts, recalled memories ... So, the idea is to see what know, aggregates of people, or things or events. Perception is a d ng of consciousness.
The Buddha said: "this the stilts, what senses chums Bhikkhu in the past, the future or the present, or foreign or international crude, paralysis, or WINS, far or near, so is the idea of aggregates" (our fathers). Thus, the perception of external objects, inside, in time, space, simple or complex are all included in the idea of aggregates. Perception is perception about something, can not have a pure perception the subject; so, the idea of including any perception of the physical world, psychology. However, the physical world, psychologically he is harsh, concept, so between perception and reality there is always a gap.
The perception is that the presence of the experience. Perception depends on the experience took over as to see that the Commission knew this is the flower pink, the perception of that Commission were available (bīja) should the experience has said that is the red flower. So the perception is prone to mislead by experience, so real because in the always lively.
Perception exists condition, so they are impermanent, empty; and so should the senses filled with spoiled students coast hope that one called hope.
4)-action aggregates (Sankhara-khandha): Onions is from call for every phenomenon born kill as in shelf "Chu onions impermanence". Onions aggregates here means the psychological phenomenon of nature created, capable of bringing to the result of karma, in other words motivate regeneration. Onions is the psychological phenomenon of aggregates is also called Center of the Department. Consciousness studies divided into 51 minds Dept. including tho, thought, feeling and perception is also called. But here are not folded and sense perception in the group because they (and life) does not have the ability to create career and results.
Onions also have six types of aggregates by contact between six and six sense objects, also called investment. The Buddha said: "this the Bhikkhu stilts, what is? There are six portfolio this incarnation: colors, taste, aroma, noble investment, investment promotion and investment. This is called ". Investment is motivated the decision, is the will, the wish; This facility of mind motivation to lead Italy in mind, real trends. Some departments have a strong impact on the mind to form or such as: education, determination, faith, greed, anger, foolish, arrogance, deviant comments ... Onions aggregates include every psychological phenomenon, the Buddha said: "This means what action the stilts Bhikkhu, in the past, current or future position, internal or foreign, international, paralysis or crude or WINS, far or near, such as aggregates" (our fathers). All the psychological, physiological phenomenon at present is the result of past action, meaning action creates a latent capacity controls promote in depth business consciousness called "defilements" hypnosis, or options in the debate called "sanh negativity". They make the platform and the power to form a new administrative capacity, leading the people to go to the future.
Onions aggregates exist thanks to the conditions due to impermanence, we students coast to empty and endless upheaval.
5)-aggregates (Vinnãna-khandha): Consciousness is capable of clearly know, reflects the real world. When the senses are in contact with the object, identify the presence of objects, not realizing what's object, is something, what color ... that's the functions of perception (idea); only get to know the presence of objects like mirrors reflecting all the pictures come across it. There are six types of knowledge: knowledge, Turkish national consciousness, label, lost consciousness, and consciousness. Knowledge is the Foundation of the life, thought,. The Centre of the United Kingdom; tho, thought, is the center of the facility.
Formula aggregates is the Foundation of psychological phenomena such as the sea is the cornerstone of the undulating waves, so the formula is also known as the basic elements of psychology, consciousness contain psychological phenomena and grounded to psychological phenomena start. Consciousness-learn to deploy eight theory of knowledge, in addition to six on longer development adds two more formula is the loss of na (Manas) and A leather back consciousness (Alaya), the aim is to exploit the inmost aspects of consciousness. Loss of na as Italy, is the base of consciousness at the same time it also has the effect of awareness of the existence of an entity, an ego. A back skin formula is the ability to maintain and preserve the strain, the experience; they are accumulated, stored in the form (A back skin). On the other hand, A skin again as the basis for the psychological operations return after no longer operational conditions. Thanks to the ability of conservation consciousness (A back skin) that psychological phenomena play the run back when meeting the elements.
Although the formula aggregates is the Foundation of the psychology but it does not exist independently, they exist because of specific, charm is due to the sharp, tho, thought,; the relationship between them together was possible disconnection. The Buddha teaches: "Consciousness exists thanks to excellent work conditions, do objects, colors do refuge ... Thanks to flourishing development knowledge. Consciousness exists thanks to tho ... thanks for the idea ... thanks ... (as above). If anyone says I will point out the go, the to, the birth, the removal of isolated consciousness with sharp, tho, thought, then he says another thing not real "(Samyutta III). So, the formula is a combination of the four other aggregates, thus Buddhism does not accept there is a way that independence, self-reliance as the concept of an immortal soul. Formula impermanence, egolessness and charm.
In summary, the people under the analysis in the group, his body in a group-the Group physics, Physiology; the psychology then divided into four groups: feeling, perception, motivation, or the will and consciousness. Each group is a collection of elements, and every other group refuge groups that exist, this group has of the other and vice versa. Said another, in life, in life there are shades colors, they are relying on each other that are present, scaling out are. A miserable feeling it including the body and the senses, mind and consciousness. The five aggregates are the different aspects of a unified people. He looked through the new unified ideas as independent, invariant is controlled by a subject, but in fact they are just a can of egolessness, impermanence and r t bullshit. In the example has a banana tree with no core, it's just a case of the banana fibre. Such is the nature of the five aggregates, that is also the goal of the analysis of the five aggregates: clearly the nature of man and the universe in which people are living, whereby opening exterminating segments suffering, wisdom.
III. Tu Customs released in aggregates:
The purpose of analyzing the five aggregates is not forming a system of man and the universe, that to see a distinct way of human nature and the phenomenal world. As mentioned, the human suffering is caused by ignorance, is not clearly see the nature of life. Due to ignorance should accept the ego, accept the subject invariant; do accept the ego that has a craving, anger, delusion; by taking part, si that there is fear, frustration, stumble and accidents.
Tu deep projection practices the five aggregates "coalition" will b., intellectual capital, and will the craving will kill, that is the main purpose of screening practices in aggregates. Similarly in Uncivil interest said: "Consistent Self in penetrating uncivil Three la suite multi projection forecast comments skandha stage not necessarily level the gauge yoke", bodhisattva Quan himself in (Avalokiteśvara) profound intellectual practices clearly self owned the five aggregates is not, should transcend all suffering yoke.
Consistent deep shone the five aggregates are as follows:
1)-Consistent projection on the basis of the French press:
I.e. pubs, the five aggregates are impermanent, is suffering, is empty, is falling. Equip yourself with a clear look, Chief comments about physical, emotional, cognitive thought, about the secret of deep psychological activity, that is the impermanence, egolessness; If accept its craving them will lead to suffering. The Buddha often awakening the disciple consistent projection of the five aggregates as you simply ask the Bhikkhu stilts:
-"The body is often impermanent?
-Transparency That Respect, impermanence.
-Infinitely often lead to suffering or pleasure?
-Transparency of world Religion, suffering.
-What is impermanent and suffering are not reasonable when that something is, is, is my ego?
-White World ... unreasonable ".
With consistent projection so often will create the capacity drop mind and accept the craving defensive loss.
2) – released in aggregates by charm born:
Consistent projection of the body due to four and four Department created the modern form, that is, due to factors such as food, Sun, air, River, genetics, Earth rock ... the body to form and survive due to countless human charm. Consistent life feel sunlit, happy, non-miserable unhappy due to the contact between six and six senses objects that born's feelings, depending on many factors such as time, space, culture, weather, social conditions ... just a feeling happy or sad ch a tare of a sky and destroy the coast coast. Consistent projection perception due to the exposure with the colors, sounds, smells ... that the students know about things, form the concept, perception, they depend on the elements of space, time, social and cultural conditions. Pubs screening the activities will also wish due to contact between the senses and object that, if the contact does not have, does not have the psychological activities. Consistent formulas exist due to the excellent reputation Coast News is due to the body, by feeling, perception and heart that are present, they are not independent, there ... Eventually the aggregates are relying on each other, have in one another, this one is the other. So see a profound and comprehensive way about humans and the human relationship with nature and the universe.

C-conclusion

The theory of the five aggregates of human analysis of physiological factors, physical, psychological, to highlight computer egolessness, volatility, insecurity and charm born of man and the universe. On the basis of consistent analysis projecting the five aggregates will bring wisdom and rescue the suffering. The Buddha said: "whoever does not accept the first, not to fall, does not envisage, not about the wedding Festival, tho, thought, onions, ... He freed the evil". So, the problem is not the existence of the five aggregates that is the presence of the previous fall, and the five aggregates accepted. People have the habit of thinking about falling, about the existence, the mind actively behind the fluctuations, should any confusion from that which was born. On the other hand, we often stick, tied into something as emotional or physical, thoughts ... If something was lost, taken away, our Center will be empty, the crisis soon. Buddha said: "People often think that this incarnation is stupid I, this body, this body in the ego or self in. .. This gauge is primary ones, we have this suffering, this suffering in the US, we're in the suffering ... ". Therefore, when life, body color ... change, people change over; fear, obstacle course, thirst and sorrow arose.
When the mind accept the relationship, and the front was shaking, the five aggregates is purity, is smuggled, as French aggregates. When her identity was dear himself in life, is at the heart of the idea of the unconscious mind is compassion, discernment, is pure entertainment and is the basic position. So, achieve complete liberation as Uncivil interest says: transcend all suffering ACE./.
