Grasping Aggregates Upādānakkhandhasutta

“Mendicants, there are these five grasping aggregates. “Pañcime, bhikkhave, upādānakkhandhā. What five? Katame pañca? The grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. Seyyathidaṁ—rūpupādānakkhandho, vedanupādānakkhandho, saññupādānakkhandho, saṅkhārupādānakkhandho, viññāṇupādānakkhandho. These are the five grasping aggregates. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañcupādānakkhandhā.

The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five grasping aggregates.” Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya …pe… ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo”ti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
