According to the teachings of the Buddha the human personality comprises five
“aggregates of grasping,”. They are also called the skandhas in Sanskrit or
khandhas in Pali. They are:
the aggregate of body (rupa);
the aggregate of feelings or sensation (vedana);
the aggregate of perception (samjna);
the aggregate of volitional activities (samskara);
the aggregate of consciousness (vinnana)
Hey, we're talking 2500 years of intense, thorough, introspective
investigation. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to extract out the
cultural ritual and biases.

p.s. I see there is a new video by the Dalai Lama available on NetFlix
'Compassion in Emptiness' - 2011. Also, I live 10 miles away from a
Connecticut state university where the Dalai Lama will be visiting this coming
October. I wonder what are my chances to get tickets.
