essentials.pdfEssentials of Insight Meditation Practice7656 viewsThe ultimate aim of insight meditation is to free one from the unsatisfactoriness of cyclic existence.

Aggregates.pdfA Burden Off the Mind: A Study Guide on the Five Aggregates7692 viewsOne of the new concepts most central to the Buddha's teaching was that of the khandhas, usually translated into English as “aggregates.†Prior to the Buddha, the Pali word khandha had very ordinary meanings: A khandha could be a pile, a bundle, a heap, a mass. It could also be the trunk of a tree. In his first sermon, though, the Buddha gave it a new, psychological meaning, introducing the term “clinging-khandhas†to summarize his analysis of the truth of stress and suffering. Throughout the remainder of his teaching career, he referred to these psychological khandhas time and again. Their importance in his teachings has thus been obvious to every generation of Buddhists ever since.
