"Analyzing aggregates means breaking identity-view (sakkāya-diṭṭhi). #This_is_the_practical_work. In the three baskets of scriptures, aren't five aggregates taught? Besides these five aggregates, is there anything else to observe? We need to understand these aggregates.
Practicing Dhamma is wisdom-work, not kamma-work. Everyone can see kamma-work. #Wisdom_means_thinking_analyzing_investigating. This isn't jhāna work either - that's about psychic powers.
#Wisdom_work_ends_defilements. When defilements end, doesn't kamma-process end? When kamma-process ends, will there be future aggregates?
Now, in your mind, let's meditate. #Meditation_too_is_breaking_identity-view. When sitting, doesn't your bottom touch the floor? Isn't it taught 'touch-knowing is mindfulness'? #When_touching_shouldn't_we_be_mindful?
When mindful, do you find floor or hardness? Bottom or body-sensitivity? When there's body-sensitivity, doesn't knowing-consciousness arise? Do you know it as 'floor' or as 'hardness'?
Can consciousness arise alone? Don't feeling, perception, and volition arise together?
Is it beings experiencing hardness, or feeling?
Is it beings perceiving, or perception?
Is it beings intending, or volition?
When feeling, perception, and volition combine, aren't there four mental aggregates? Only with these four complete does touch-consciousness arise. Are these beings or four mental aggregates?
Is body-sensitivity a being? Is earth element a being? Analyzing aggregates, don't we find material aggregate? Combined with four mental aggregates, (makes five aggregates, Lord).
What appears is floor, bottom, legs and arms. #What's_found_is_five_aggregates. Isn't this called identity (sakkāya)? Doesn't this break wrong view? We must strive to reach this understanding. Consider this carefully..."
Sadhu! Together let us keep the Dharma wheel rolling.
