Mindfulness Series wk7
March 04, 2024
The topic for tonight's aspect of the mindfulness teaching is the five aggregates or five Sconda. The five aggregates, probably the best translation, it's the five aspects of our experience that we tend to be identified with as self. The aggregates, sometimes this term sconda or aggregate, is also like a heap.
The different heaps of our or piles the, uh, different, um, piles of experience that we tend to consider “that's who I am”. The, the first one is our bodies. The aggregate of a physical form. We have a body. The second one is our mind. We have a mind that thinks and plans and remembers. The third one is perception of feeling tone, of feeling pleasant, unpleasant, neutral.
What percentage of the time do you believe your thoughts? How much of the time is it true?
