Is it possible to see khandhas?
Is it possible to see khandhas?
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?
Re: Is it possible to see khandhas?
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.
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: Is it possible to see khandhas?
I think the purpose of the satiratthana is to see the emergence and disappearance of dhammas.
Re: Is it possible to see khandhas?
What you think is wrong.
Body, feeling & mind = khandhasHere, 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......

Re: Is it possible to see 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.'

Im talking of physical eye as seeing

Re: Is it possible to see khandhas?
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 .
