5 Aggregates of clinging



Wikipedia writes: "In the Theravada tradition, suffering arises when one identifies with or clings to the aggregates. This suffering is extinguished by relinquishing attachments to aggregates. The Mahayana tradition asserts that the nature of all aggregates is intrinsically empty of independent existence."

Searched today to find talks I'd like to listen to:

So I began to discuss and listen to this topic. I found a talks on Free Buddhist Audio from the TBC by Kulaprabha and Maitrisiddhi. Subhuti has some talks but they are in India and I can't listen to him talk so slowly so that he can be translated.

There is a Plum Village talk by a man, and by a woman (YouTube)

Doug Smith has a secular buddhism perspective (17min).

Mary Aubrey has a talk on Mind States, Hindrances & 5 Aggregates on Dharma Seed.

Gil Fronsdal has a talk on Audio Dharma.

Ayya Khema has a talk on the 5 aggregates on this page. She survived the Holocaust, traveled the world, and became a monk.

You have to scroll down to 2003 for this talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

Ajahn Candasiri from the Forest Sangha (56 min). Women are well represented, and I like that.
