Illustrated Glossary of Pāli Terms

by Ven. Varado Maha Thera:

Illustration: saṅkhāra, mental factors

Whatever kind of mental factors there are, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or sublime, far or near: this is called the aggregate of mental factors.

Yā kāci saṅkhārā atīnānāgatapaccuppannaṁ ajjhattaṁ vā bahiddhā vā oḷārikaṁ vā sukhumaṁ vā hīnaṁ vā paṇītaṁ vā yaṁ dūre santike vā ayaṁ vuccati saṅkhārakkhandho. (SN iii 101)

Unvirtuous, spiritually unwholesome factors arise with mental factors, not without mental factors. By abandoning those very mental factors, those unvirtuous, spiritually unwholesome factors do not exist.

Sasaṅkhārā bhikkhave uppajjanti pāpakā akusalā dhammā no asaṅkhārā. Tesaṁ yeva saṅkhārānaṁ pahānā evaṁ te pāpakā akusalā dhammā na honti. (AN i 82)

The Bodhisatta Vipassī dwelt contemplating the arising and disappearance of the five aggregates:… Such are mental factors; such the origination of mental factors; such the vanishing of mental factors…

Iti saṅkhārā iti saṅkhārānaṁ samudayo iti saṅkhārānaṁ atthaṅgam. (DN ii 35)

An arising of mental factors is discernable

saṅkhārānaṁ uppādo paññāyati

A disappearance is discernable

vayo paññāyati

A changeability while persisting is discernable

ṭhitassa aññathattaṁ paññāyati. (SN iii 38)
