At Sāvatthī.
"I will teach you, monks, the five aggregates and the five aggregates of clinging.
Listen to that.
And what, monks, are the five aggregates?
Whatever materiality, past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, whether far or near, this is called the aggregate of matter.
Whatever feeling... etc.
whatever perception...
whatever activities, past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle... etc.
this is called the aggregate of mental activities.
Whatever consciousness, past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, whether far or near, this is called the aggregate of consciousness.
These are called, monks, the five aggregates."
"And what, monks, are the five aggregates of clinging? Whatever materiality, monks, past, future, or present... etc. whether far or near, with mental corruptions, subject to clinging, this is called the aggregate of clinging to matter. Whatever feeling... etc. whether far or near, with mental corruptions, subject to clinging, this is called the aggregate of clinging to feeling. Whatever perception... etc. whether far or near, with mental corruptions, subject to clinging, this is called the aggregate of clinging to perception. Whatever activities... etc. with mental corruptions, subject to clinging, this is called the aggregate of clinging to activities. Whatever consciousness, past, future, or present... etc. whether far or near, with mental corruptions, subject to clinging, this is called the aggregate of clinging to consciousness. These are called, monks, the five aggregates of clinging." The sixth.
