In this session, Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho answer questions about the five aggregates (khandhas) of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, specifically addressing the Pheṇa Sutta (SN 22.95) in which the Buddha says that:

1. form (rūpa) is like a lump of foam

2. feeling (vedana) is like water bubble from a raindrop landing in water

3. perception (saññā) is like a mirage,

4. mental formations (saṅkhārā) are like a pithless plantain tree

5. consciousness (viññāṇa) is like a magician’s illusion at a crossroads.
