Buddhist Context

In Buddhist philosophy, the Five Aggregates (Pañcakkhandha) represent the five factors that constitute what we typically think of as an individual being:

1. Form (Rūpa) - The physical body and material world
2. Feeling (Vedanā) - Sensations arising from contact with the world
3. Perception (Saṃjñā) - Recognition and labeling of experiences
4. Mental Formations (Saṅkhāra) - Thoughts, emotions, and intentions
5. Consciousness (Vijñāna) - Basic awareness of experiences

The Buddha taught that understanding these aggregates as impermanent and not-self is key to liberation from suffering.
