"The Five Aggregates" by Paul Harris

A somewhat more technical talk about the Buddha's higher teaching on the constituents of ultimate reality.

In meditation, once the mind is calm and free of hindrances, the next step is to turn the attention to investigating and noting the arising and passing of the five aggregates. It is this process that undoes the tendency to passionately crave for life to be different. We recognise that the things of life to which we normally cling are, in reality, no more real than a rainbow; all appearance, but empty of any solid, enduring self-existence.

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
