1. ANALYSIS OF THE AGGREGATES

1. ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO THE DISCOURSES

1. The five aggregates are: The aggregate of material quality, aggregate of feeling, aggregate of perception, aggregate of mental concomitants, aggregate of consciousness.

1. THE AGGREGATE OF MATERIAL QUALITY

2. Therein what is the aggregate of material quality? What- ever material quality is past, future or present, internal or external gross or subtle, inferior or superior, distant or proximate; (taking) these together collectively and briefly, this is called the aggregate of material quality.

3. Therein what is past material quality? That material quality which is past, ceased, dissolved, changed, terminated, disappeared, or which having arisen has dissolved, has passed and is classed

The Book of Analysis

among the things that are past, (i.e.,) the four great essentials and the material qualities derived from the four great essentials. This is called past material quality.

Therein what is future material quality? That material quality which is not born, not become, not begotten, non- existent, fully non-existent, not apparent, not risen, not well risen, not uprisen, not well uprisen, which is future and is classed among the things that are future, (i.e.,) the four great essentials and the material qualities derived from the four great essentials. This is called future material quality.

Therein what is present material quality? That material quality which is born, become, begotten, existent, fully existent, apparent, risen, well risen, uprisen, well uprisen, which is present and is classed among the things that are present, [2] (i.e.,) the four great essentials and the material qualities derived from the four great essentials. This is called present material quality.

4. Therein what is internal material quality? That material quality which, for this or that being, is personal, self-referable, one’s own, individual and is grasped (by craving and false view), (i.e.,) the four great essentials and the material qualities derived from the four great essentials. This is called internal material quality.

Therein what is external material quality? That material quality which, for this or that other being, for other persons, is personal, self-referable, one’s own, individual and is grasped, (i.e.,) the four great essentials and the material qualities derived from the four great essentials. This is called external material quality.

5. Therein what is gross material quality? The eye base, :P: tangible base. This is called gross material quality.

P = See para. 154.

Therein what is subtle material quality? The controlling faculty of femininity, :P: the nutrient factor of food. This is called subtle material quality.

P = See Dhs. para. 595. ^

6. Therein what is inferior material quality? That material quality which, for this or that being, is contemptible, despised,

worthless, derisible, disrespected, inferior, thought to be inferior, considered to be inferior, undesirable, unattractive, unpleasant, (i.e.,) the visible, audible, odorous, sapid, tangible. This is called inferior material quality.

Therein what is superior material quality? That material quality which, for this or that being, is not contemptible, not despised, not worthless, not derisible, respected, superior, thought to be superior, considered to be superior, desirable, attractive, pleasant, (i.e.,) the visible, audible, odorous, sapid, tangible. This is called superior material quality. Inferior and superior material quality should be understood by comparing this material quality with that.

7. Therein what is distant material quality? The controlling faculty of femininity, : P : the nutrient factor of food or whatever other material quality there is, not near, not close, distant, not proximate. This is called distant material quality. [3]

P = See Dhs. para. 595.

Therein what is proximate material quality? The eye base, close, not distant, proximate. This is called proximate material quality. Distant and proximate material quality should be under- stood by comparing this material quality with that.
 * P: tangible base or whatever other material quality there is, near,

P = See para. 154.

2. THE AGGREGATE OF FEELING

8. Therein what is the aggregate of feeling? Whatever feeling is past, future or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, distant or proximate; (taking) these together collectively and briefly, this is called the aggregate of feeling.

9. Therein what is past feeling? That feeling which is past, ceased, dissolved, changed, terminated, disappeared, or which having arisen has dissolved, has passed and is classed among the things that are past, (i.e.,) pleasant feeling, painful feeling, neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. This is called past feeling.

Therein what is future feeling? That feeling which is not born, not become, not begotten, non-existent, fully non-existent, not

apparent, not risen, not well risen, not uprisen, not well uprisen, which is future and is classed among the things that are future, (i.e.,) pleasant feeling, painful feeling, neither-painful-nor- pleasant feeling. This is called future feeling.

Therein what is present feeling? That feeling which is born, become, begotten, existent, fully existent, apparent, risen, well risen, uprisen, well uprisen, which is present and is classed among the things that are present, (i.e.,) pleasant feeling, painful feeling, neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. This is called present feeling.

10. Therein what is internal feeling? That feeling which, for this or that being, is personal, self-referable, one’s own, individual and is grasped (by craving and false view), (i.e.,) pleasant feeling painful feeling, neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. This is called internal feeling.

Therein what is external feeling? That feeling which, for this or that other being, for other persons, is personal, self- referable, one’s own, individual and is grasped, (i.e.,) pleasant feeling, painful feeling, neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. This is called external feeling.

11. Therein what is gross (also) subtle feeling? Bad feeling is gross ; good and neither-good-nor-bad feeling is subtle. Good and bad feeling is gross; neither-good-nor-bad feeling is subtle. [4] Painful feeling is gross ; pleasant also neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling is subtle. Pleasant and painful feeling is gross; neither- painful-nor-pleasant feeling is subtle. The feeling of one not experiencing higher mental states is gross; the feeling of one experiencing higher mental states is subtle. Feeling that is the object of the defilements is gross; feeling that is not the object of the defilements is subtle. Gross and subtle feeling should be understood by comparing this feeling with that.

12. Therein what is inferior (also) superior feeling? Bad

feeling is inferior; good and neither-good-nor-bad feeling is superior. Good and bad feeling is inferior; neither-good-nor- bad feeling is superior. Painful feeling is inferior; pleasant feeling also neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling is superior. Pleasant and painful feeling is inferior; neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling is

Feeling that is the object of the defilements is distant from feeling that is not the object of the defilements; feeling that is not the object of the defilements is distant from feeling that is the object of the defile- ments. This is called distant feeling.

Therein what is proximate feeling? Bad feeling is proximate to bad feeling ; good feeling is proximate to good feeling ; neither- good-nor-bad feeling is proximate to neither-good-nor-bad feeling. Painful feeling is proximate to painful feeling; pleasant feeling is proximate to pleasant feeling; neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling is proximate to neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. [5] The feeling of one not experiencing higher mental states is proximate to the feeling of one not experiencing higher mental states; the feeling of one experiencing higher mental states is proximate to the feeling of one experiencing higher mental states. Feeling that

(HERE ENDS) ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO THE DISCOURSES

2. ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO ABHIDHAMMA

32. The five aggregates are: The aggregate of material quality, aggregate of feeling, aggregate of perception, aggregate of mental concomitants, aggregate of consciousness.

1. THE AGGREGATE OF MATERIAL QUALITY

33. Therein what is the aggregate of material quality? The

aggregate of material quality by way of singlefold division: All material quality is not root. Is not accompanied by root. Is not associated with root. Is with cause. Is conditioned. Is material. Is mundane. Is the object of the defilements. Is the object of the fetters. Is the object of the ties. Is the object of the floods. Is the object of the bonds. Is the object of the hindrances. Is the object of the perversions. Is the object of the attachments. Is the object of the corruptions. Is neither-good-nor-bad. Has no object. Is not mental concomitant. Is not associated with consciousness. Is neither resultant nor productive of resultant. Is not corrupt, is the object of the corruptions. Is not ‘accompanied by initial applica- tion, accompanied by sustained application*. Is not ‘without initial application, sustained application only*. Is without initial application, without sustained application. Is not accompanied by zest. Is not accompanied by pleasure. Is not accompanied by

indifference. Is not to be abandoned either by the first path or by the subsequent paths. Has no root to be abandoned either by the first path or by the subsequent paths. Is neither cumulative nor dispersive (of continuing rebirth and death). Is neither of the seven supramundane stages nor of the final supramundane stage. Is low. Is characteristic of the plane of desire. Is not characteristic of the plane of form. Is not characteristic of the formless plane. Is included (i.e. Is mundane). Is not ‘not included’ (i.e. not supra- mundane). Is of no fixed (resultant time). Does not tend to release. Is risen. Is cognizable by the six types of cognition. Is not permanent. Is subject to decay. Thus is the aggregate of material quality by way of singlefold division. [13]

The aggregate of material quality by way of twofold division: There is material quality that is derived; there is material quality that is not derived.

1. THE TRIPLETS

152. The aggregate of material quality is neither-good-nor-bad. Four aggregates sometimes are good; sometimes are bad; some- times are neither-good-nor-bad. Two aggregates should not be said to be either, associated with pleasant feeling ; associated with painful feeling or associated with neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. Three aggregates sometimes are associated with pleasant feeling; sometimes are associated with painful feeling; sometimes are associated with neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. The aggregate of material quality is neither resultant nor productive of resultant. Four aggregates sometimes are resultants; sometimes are productive of resultants; sometimes are neither resultants nor productive of resultants. The aggregate of material quality sometimes is grasped (by craving and false view), is the object of the attachments; sometimes is not grasped, is the object of the attachments. Four aggregates sometimes are grasped, are objects of the attachments ; sometimes are not grasped, are objects of the attachments; sometimes are not grasped, are not objects of the attachments.

The aggregate of material quality is not corrupt, is. the object of the corruptions. Four aggregates sometimes are corrupt, are objects of the corruptions; sometimes are not corrupt, are objects of the corruptions; sometimes are not corrupt, are not objects of the corruptions. The aggregate of material quality is without initial application, without sustained application. Three aggregates sometimes are accompanied by initial application, accompanied by sustained application; sometimes are without initial application,

sustained application only; sometimes are without initial applica- tion, without sustained application. The aggregate of mental concomitants sometimes is accompanied by initial application, accompanied by sustained application; sometimes is without initial application, sustained application only; sometimes is without initial application, without sustained application; some- times should not be said to be either, accompanied by initial application, accompanied by sustained application; without initial application, sustained application only or without initial applica- tion, without sustained application. The aggregate of material quality should not be said to be either, accompanied by zest; accompanied by pleasure or accompanied by indifference. The aggregate of feeling sometimes is accompanied by zest; is not accompanied by pleasure; is not accompanied by indifference; sometimes should not be said to be, accompanied by zest. Three aggregates sometimes are accompanied by zest; sometimes are accompanied by pleasure; sometimes are accompanied by indif- ference; sometimes should not be said to be either, accompanied by zest; accompanied by pleasure or accompanied by indifference.

The aggregate of material quality is not to be abandoned either by the first path or by the subsequent paths. Four aggregates sometimes are to be abandoned by the first path; sometimes are to be abandoned by the subsequent paths; sometimes are not to be abandoned either by the first path or by the subsequent paths. The aggregate of material quality has no root to be abandoned either by the first path or by the subsequent paths. Four aggregates sometimes have roots to be abandoned by the first path; some- times have roots to be abandoned by the subsequent paths; sometimes have no roots to be abandoned either by the first path or by the subsequent paths. The aggregate of material quality is neither cumulative nor dispersive (of continuing rebirth and death). Four aggregates sometimes are cumulative; sometimes are dispersive; sometimes are neither cumulative nor dispersive. The aggregate of material quality is neither of the seven supra- mundane stages nor of the final supramundane stage. Four aggregates sometimes are of the seven supramundane stages; sometimes are of the final supramundane stage; sometimes are neither of the seven supramundane stages nor of the final supra- mundane stage. The aggregate of material quality is low. Four aggregates sometimes are low; sometimes are sublime; sometimes

78

are immeasurable. The aggregate of material quality has no object. Four aggregates sometimes have low objects; sometimes have sublime objects; sometimes have immeasurable objects; sometimes should not be said to have either, low objects; [63] sublime objects or immeasurable objects. The aggregate of material quality is intermediate. Four aggregates sometimes are inferior; sometimes are intermediate; sometimes are superior. The aggregate of material quality is of no fixed (resultant time). Four aggregates sometimes are false (states with) fixed (resultant time); sometimes are right (states with) fixed (resultant time); sometimes are of no fixed (resultant time).

The aggregate of material quality has no object. Four aggregates sometimes have path as their object; sometimes have path as their cause; sometimes have path as their dominating factor; sometimes should not be said to have either, path as their object; path as their cause or path as their dominating factor. (The five aggregates) Sometimes are risen ; sometimes are not risen ; some- times are bound to arise. Sometimes are past; sometimes are future; sometimes are present. The aggregate of material quality has no object. Four aggregates sometimes have past objects; sometimes have future objects; sometimes have present objects; sometimes should not be said to have either, past objects; future objects or present objects. (The five aggregates) Sometimes are internal ; sometimes are external ; sometimes are both internal and external. The aggregate of material quality has no object. Four aggregates sometimes have internal objects; sometimes have external objects; sometimes have both internal and external objects; sometimes should not be said to have either, internal objects; external objects or both internal and external objects. Four aggregates are not visible, not impingent. The aggregate of material quality sometimes is visible, is impingent; sometimes is not visible, is impingent; sometimes is not visible, is not impingent.

The aggregate of material quality should not be said to be, root also accompanied by root or accompanied by root but is not root. Three aggregates should not be said to be, roots also accompanied by roots; (they) sometimes are accompanied by roots but are not roots ; sometimes should not be said to be, accompanied by roots but are not roots. The aggregate of mental concomitants sometimes is root also accompanied by root; sometimes is accompanied by root but is not root ; sometimes should not be said to be, root also accompanied by root or accompanied by root but is not root.
