Do the Skandhas disguise themselves as selves or does one mistaken it for selves?
Buddha Wisdom • Following
Answered by Jilya • Jan 17
The skandhas, also known as the five aggregates, are form (body), sensation, discrimination, karmic formations and consciousness and together consist of that which we label "I". They are the basis upon which we impute "I". We tend to think that the skandhas are 'me', or that somehow "I" control them and exist somehow separately from them, but that is a mistaken apprehension. So yes, to answer your question one mistakes the the aggregates as being my self.
