DOI: 10.1558/equinox.39413

Blurb:

The Buddhist doctrine of ‘The Five Aggregates’ is discussed. This doctrine is a synopsis of how the delusion of a discrete and essential ‘self’ arises from attachment to body, feelings (sensations), cognition, thoughts and consciousness. This chapter gives a simplified account of this difficult doctrine, using a model of reflections. Analogies and exercises are provided for the reader.
