correct understanding of the five aggregates as empty of essence and subject to arising and passing away

"This is included in the structuring of the Noble Truths. We misconceive all five aggregates. Don't we mistake the five aggregates (khandha) for persons and beings? Don't we mistake them for men and women? This is wrong! What's really there to be seen - is it gods, humans, and brahmas, or the five aggregates? Is it men and women, or the five aggregates? We need to understand these aggregates. These five aggregates arise when sense objects meet sense doors. Before they meet, can you point to where they exist? When the two meet, they arise, right? This is one set of five aggregates. Isn't this worth investigating? Now examine these aggregates - can you weigh them in pounds? Can you measure them in gold weight? Though they can't be weighed, aren't their characteristics apparent? Isn't this worth investigating? How satisfying this understanding is! All five are aggregates without essence. Isn't this worth studying? That's why they arise and pass away. If they had essence, would they pass away? They arise and pass because they lack essence. Isn't this worth investigating? Which Noble Truth is this? (The Truth of Suffering) Are the current Dhamma listeners living with happiness or suffering? When the Dhamma disappears, aren't we taught to look in ourselves? 'Ourselves' means the five aggregates. When the Dhamma disappears and we look in ourselves, aren't we taught that we find the Dhamma? Is what we find human happiness? No, it's the Truth of Suffering. Divine happiness? The Truth of Suffering. Brahma happiness? The Truth of Suffering. When we truly understand the Truth of Suffering, doesn't the ignorance (avijjā) that misconceives worldly happiness cease? Ignorance has ceased! In terms of Dependent Origination (Paṭicca-samuppāda), isn't it taught from ignorance to aging-and-death? So doesn't the beginning - ignorance - break? Don't the aggregates we see arise and pass away? Which Noble Truth? (The Truth of Suffering). Then can 2 progress to 3? Do craving and clinging still arise? Hasn't the middle broken? Looking further, isn't it taught that 'with kamma-becoming as condition, birth arises'? Don't physical and verbal actions also arise and pass away? Because we know the passing away, can 3 progress to 4? Isn't this worth investigating? This is why we structure understanding the aggregates, to understand the Noble Truths. These are the essential points..."
