five Aggregates (pañca-Skandha, 五蘊, 五陰). A sentient being is composed of The five aggregates: Rūpa (Form), vedanā (sensory reception), saṁjñā (Perception), saṁskāra (Mental processing), and Vijñāna (Consciousness). The first one is material and the other four are Mental. Since these four are [[non-[Form]] (非色), thus present in name only, The five aggregates are summarized as name and Form (名色). Skandha (蘊) in Sanskrit also means that which covers or conceals (陰), and the regular working of the Five Skandhas conceals true reality from a sentient being.
