Is it possible to see khandhas as a result of advancing in the practice of vipassana or khandhas are just one of the varieties of dhamma sorting?

Hi Viachh,

I'm not sure I understand your question. Khandhas are a way of classifying experience, so I'm not sure how we wouldn't "see" (be aware of) them. Of course, there is more awareness of the details with practice.

Yes. That is the purpose of satipatthana.

I think the purpose of the satiratthana is to see the emergence and disappearance of dhammas.

What you think is wrong.

Here, a bhikkhu lives a seer (anupassī) of body with reference to the body... a seer of feelings with reference to feelings ... a seerer of mind with reference to the mind .... a seer of dhammas with reference to dhammas......

Satipatthana

Body, feeling & mind = khandhas

Agree.
Dhamma includes Khandhas.
===========================
"Furthermore, the monk remains focused on mental qualities in & of themselves with reference to the five clinging-aggregates. And how does he remain focused on mental qualities in & of themselves with reference to the five clinging-aggregates? There is the case where a monk [discerns]: 'Such is form, such its origination, such its disappearance. Such is feeling... Such is perception... Such are fabrications... Such is consciousness, such its origination, such its disappearance.'

There is no such khandhas "body" and "mind"

Im talking of physical eye as seeing

u are talking nonsense because Mahayana nonsense is not Theravada. the internal 'kaya' is seen with Dhamma Eye, i.e., touched by body consciousness & mind consciousness. for example, anapanasati breathing, which is included in rupa khandha, is not seen with the physical eye

The dhamma eye sees the dependent arising (ceasing) ie arising and falling of the aggregates .
