The Blessed Buddha once explained: Friends, the uninstructed, uneducated, and ordinary person neither understands the origin as it really is, nor does he understand the ceasing, nor the satisfaction, nor the danger, nor the escape from these five clusters of clinging: Form, Feeling, Perception, Mental Constructions, and Consciousness! But, friends, the instructed Noble Disciple understands the origin as it really is, including the ceasing, the satisfaction, the danger, and the escape in the case of form, feeling, perception, mental constructions, & consciousness!
How are these 5 aspects of the 5 clusters of clinging to be understood? The origin of form is nutriment! Ceasing of nutriment is ceasing of form! The satisfaction in form is the pleasure, fun, and joy derived from form. The danger in form is the impermanent and decaying nature of all form. The escape from form is the overcoming of all desire & lust for any form. [Nutrimentis here defined as: Food, contact, intention and consciousness!]
The origin of feeling, perception and construction is this sense contact. The ceasing of feeling, perception and construction is ceasing of contact. The satisfaction in feeling, perception & construction is the pleasure, and joy derived from feeling, perception and mental construction. The danger in feeling, perception and mental construction is the inherent and inevitable impermanence & therefore immanent dissatisfaction with any feeling, any perception and any mental construction whatsoever! The escape from feeling, perception and construction is the overcoming of all desire and lust for all feeling, perception and mental construction!
The initial origin of consciousness is mental construction. The ceasing of consciousness is the ceasing of mental construction. The satisfaction in consciousness is the pleasure and joy derived from consciousness. The danger within consciousness is this impermanence, nature to change, and thus misery characteristic of any form and event of consciousness! The escape from all consciousness is the overcoming & elimination of all desire and lust for any form of consciousness. In this way are these 5 aspects of the 5 clusters of clinging to be fully understood! It is only in this way, that the instructed Noble Disciple indeed really understands, what should be understood...
