The five aggregates are the transliteration of Sanskrit, meaning accumulation or combination. Buddhism believes that everything in the world is composed of the five aggregates, and a person's life is also composed of the five aggregates.

The five aggregates are form aggregate, feeling aggregate, perception aggregate, formation aggregate and consciousness aggregate.Among the five aggregates, except for the first form aggregate, which is a material phenomenon, the other four aggregates are all spiritual phenomena within the five aggregates.

Early Buddhism focused on explaining the phenomena of life, and to explain life, it must involve the question of what people or their physical and mental phenomena are. The answer given by Buddhism to this question is the five aggregates theory. In other words, the five aggregates are actually the Buddhist theory about the elements that make up the human body and its physical and mental phenomena.

The five aggregates are form aggregate, feeling aggregate, perception aggregate, formation aggregate and consciousness aggregate. Among the five aggregates, except for the first form aggregate, which is a material phenomenon, the other four aggregates are all spiritual phenomena within the five aggregates.

1. Color aggregate，Color refers to matter. Color aggregate refers to the aggregation of all objectively existing substances with form and quality, which is equivalent to what people call material phenomena today. The form aggregate specifically includes the four major material factors of earth, water, fire, and wind. People often say that the four elements are all empty, and they are talking about these four elements.

2. Feeling aggregate，It refers to the feelings or emotions caused by the sensory contact with external objects.

3. Thoughts，Perceptions and representations obtained by analyzing the feelings produced by accepting external things.

4. Action aggregate，The will to act generated through the understanding of external things.

The concept of the five aggregates is proposed to show that there is no independent self or eternal subject outside the five aggregates. The so-called "I" in the world is only the temporary combination of the five aggregates. I actually do not exist. The reason why people suffer is that they do not understand this truth and regard the five aggregates as the real self or the unchanging subject and cling to them.
