oh screw it, time for schisms
the five aggregate teaching is a misinterpreted reformulation of dependent co-arising
there i said it; written plain and simple in mn 18:
form (rūpa, e.g. cakkhu) → sentience or contact (viññāṇa or phassa) → sensation (vedanā) → apperception (saññā) → volition (saṅkhāra, vitakka, papañca, saṅkha) → dukkha
saññā is the main culprit; the last few paragraphs of snp 4.11 present a solution for it.
You are a gift from heaven, I mean my kinda heaven. To find someone who finds a connection between
DO, MN 18, and Snp 4.11? it does not often happen.
Spend a while with Diversity of External Contacts, I mean the first section of Dhatusamyutta. The one Samyutta that clarifies DO like nothing else, O' so sadly neglected.
It is Plain gold. I hope you hang around for a while this time. What you wrote here
the five aggregate teaching is a misinterpreted reformulation of dependent co-arising did you come up with it?. If you did, you have understood this Dhamma of DO with great clarity. Or did some scholar write it? If so who is that scholar?
Keep up the good work.
With love
