What are five scandes?

Five scandes are five elements or "aggregates", which states that they represent human experience in Buddhism. Because individual experience is a product of five scandes, there is no real self. It is said that suffering is based on identification with five scandes, while freedom can come from the recognition of the emptiness of five scandes and the absence of yourself. The world or Samsara , also understood as a cycle of reincarnation, is experienced exclusively through Scandha. The form or rūpa is something physical, the outside world and the body itself, including the sensory organs. The form is divided into Mahābhūta or four large elements: earth, fire, air and water. Each part of physical matter, including the human body, is reduced to these four elements. It stems from the interaction of The other scandhas. Three other scandes together form mental factors or cetasics .

The first of cetasics feels, or vedanā , which includes anything that has experienced through five senses. Perception, or Saññā, is the recognition of something that has experienced through the senses, such as the perception of green color or the sound of the bell ringing. Formation, or Sankhāra , is the whole mental activity that results from their perception of the object.

Five scandes are considered a source of human suffering, because people adhere to them or experience a desire rather than experience them. For example, most people feel themselves from the interaction of five scandes, so when the body inevitably experiences age and illness, they feel loss of itself and subsequently mental anxiety, moreover, physical pain. The path to enlightenment, or nirvana, requires recognition of five scandes as unstable and empty and loses its attachment and eventually reaches "non-" "or Anatta . This is generally achieved by meditation.
