The 5 Clusters of Clinging
Suffer!
The material body is like the prison, because
it is the site of the punishment.
Perception is like the offence, because it via contact causes the
punishment.
Feeling is like the punishment one cannot control, as it is caused by
contact.
Mental construction is like the punisher, since it via craving causes
feeling.
Consciousness is like the villain, because this is what is tormented by
feeling.
