Sono i seguenti
rupa: forma (o immagine materiale, impressione)vedanā: sensazioni (senso di piacevole, spiacevole o neutro, ricevuto dalla forma)sañña: percezioni, riconoscimento dell'oggetto saṅkhāra: formazioni mentali, pensieri, emozio e più in genere le attività mentali o le formazioniviññāṇa: la coscienza snsoriale.

Terrapura: Meditazione, Mindfulness, BuddhismoEp. 193 Riflessioni di Dharma sulle montagneQueste Riflessioni di Dharma sulle montagne si basano sugli insegnamenti del Buddha. Infatti il Buddha cita spesso elementi della natura, e tra questi le montagne. Il Buddha stesso è nato in un luogo estremamente montuoso, vicino all'Himalaya, quindi aveva conoscenza diretta della grandiosità e maestosità delle più alte montagne del mondo.
Per il Beato, le montagne sono un esempio di impermanenza: anche i più grandi monti, che sembra del tutto stabili, immutabili, indistruttibili, sono soggetti a distruzione. In un sutta particolarmente efficace, il Sattasūriyasutta o Sutta dei Sette Soli, il Buddha fa immaginare un crescendo di distruzione, dovuto...2022-02-0420 min
Terrapura: Meditazione, Mindfulness, BuddhismoRiflessioni sul perdonoIl concetto che vogliamo esplorare, il perdono, non ha un esatto corrispettivo in lingua Pāli. Il termine che più ci si avvicina è Khanti, che si può tradurre come pazienza, tolleranza, accettazione e perdono.
Negli insegnamenti del Buddha, sviluppare questa capacità di lasciar andare, di tollerare e perdonare è molto importante. Ne ha parlato in molti insegnamenti, qui ne riportiamo uno preso dall'Anguttara Nikaya, la raccolta degli insegnamenti in progressione numerica, dove ogni capitolo corrisponde ad una lista del numero corrispondente; in questo caso è il capitolo cinque, quello delle liste di cinque elementi:

In questo sutta il Buddha prende in esame soltanto quest'ultimo aspetto, che però vale anche per tutti gli altri.
