What are we made of? What is the true nature of human being? Understanding the concept of Five aggregates taught by the Buddha helps us to answer the questions above.

“The five aggregates, monks, are anicca (impermanent); whatever is impermanent, that is dukkha (unsatisfactory); whatever is dukkha, that is without attaa (self). What is without self, that is not mine, that I am not, that is not my self. Thus should it be seen by perfect wisdom as it really is. Who sees by perfect wisdom, as it really is, his mind, not grasping, is detached from taints; he is liberated.”
