khandhā

{hkan-Da}

UMK-USL p32
n. aggregate of physical and mental phenomena.
khandha is made up of five constituents:
1. rupak-khandhā -- aggregate of corporeality
2. vedanak-khandā -- aggregate of feeling
3. saññak-khandā -- aggregate of perception
4. saṅkhārak-khandā -- aggregate of concomitants
5. vīññāṇak-khandhā -- aggregate of consciousness

khandha: the 5 'groups (of existence)' or 'groups of clinging' (upádánakkhandha);alternative renderings: aggregates, categories of clinging's objects.

   2. feeling group (vedanák-khandha),
   3. perception group (saññák-khandha),
   4. mental-formation group (sankhárak-khandha),
   5. consciousness-group (viññának-khandha). -- NBD
