The Five Khandhā (‘Aggregates’) By upasamkamitva on August 14, 2018 in 26 – 31 August 2019, ITC-Naarden, Holland The Buddha often spoke of experience comprising of five khandhā – meaning sections or aggregates. These khandhā, sometimes thought of as components that come together to make an individual, are made up of: Form Feeling Perception ‘Conditioning activities’ or ‘Programs’ Consciousness. Interestingly, as well as factors of identity, they can also be seen to cover all conditioned experience. When clung to, the khandhā can increase our feeling of ‘self’ or ‘other’, and in turn, when not clung to, they can help to liberate ourselves from this sense. This course will encourage us to explore the meaning of the terms, experience how they operate and direct them towards liberation. Time will include regular meditation periods, talks and dialogues.
