The Five Aggregates


The five aggregates are truly burdens,
the burden-carrier is the person.
Taking up the burden is suffering in the world,
laying the burden down is blissful.

Having laid the heavy burden down
without taking up another burden,
having drawn out craving with its root,
one is free from hunger, fully quenched.

---The Buddha---
