Buddhist Context
In Buddhist philosophy, the Five Aggregates (Pañcakkhandha) represent the five factors that constitute what we typically think of as an individual being:
- Form (Rūpa) - The physical body and material world
- Feeling (Vedanā) - Sensations arising from contact with the world
- Perception (Saṃjñā) - Recognition and labeling of experiences
- Mental Formations (Saṅkhāra) - Thoughts, emotions, and intentions
- Consciousness (Vijñāna) - Basic awareness of experiences
The Buddha taught that understanding these aggregates as impermanent and not-self is key to liberation from suffering.
