Five skandhas (Skt. pañcaskandha; Tib. སསསསསསསསསས pungpo nga; Wyl. phung po lnga) — the
five psycho-physical aggregates, which according to Buddhist philosophy are the basis for self-
grasping. They are:
Eighteen dhatus (Skt. aṣṭadaśa dhātu; Tib. སསསསསསསསསསསསསས, kham chobgyé, Wyl. khams
bco brgyad) — a classification of all knowable things into eighteen 'elements'.
the six sense objects (Skt. viṣayadhātu; Wyl. dmigs yul gyi khams):
the six sense consciousnesses (Skt. vijñanadhātu; Wyl. rnam shes kyi khams)
According to Abhidharma, the eighteen dhatus are categorized differently, i.e. in relation to the five
skandhas.
