Dear Students,
This week, we will delve into the concept of Saṅkhārakkhandha, focusing on mental formations and their significance in our understanding of the five aggregates. We'll explore the various categories of mental factors, including the wholesome (kusala), unwholesome (akusala), and neutral (abyākata) aspects, as well as important formations like cetanā (volition) and phassa (contact).
Please make sure to review the Anattalakkhaṇa Sutta (SN 22.59) and the Khajjanīya Sutta (SN 22.79) as they provide essential insights into the nature of these aggregates. Remember, understanding these concepts is key to achieving deeper insights through your practice.
Looking forward to our discussions!
Best,\
