Illusion of Five Aggregates

By K.S. Chow

Volition is the doer
You are not the doer
Ignorance constructs the self or ego
Volition is the actor
The way to discern the Truth is
working with non-action of all actions
These are actions of willessness

Let go of any expectation of rewards
Cravings entangle the sentient beings
Equanimity annihilates the kammic seeds
Be a neutral spectator perceiving
the six senses performing the stage show
Detach from the sense activities
Alienate from your involved performances

Relinquish all views
Discerning the illusion and unreality of
of absolute existence and absolute non-existence
and of eternalism and annihilationism
Executing  five aggregates of non-grasping
Pure cognitions of all objects
Annihilating the illusive self or ego

In the manifest of non-manifestative consciousness
Dhamma eye arising and discerning
Form like a mass of foam
Feeling similar to a water bubble
Perception akin to a mirage
Volition likened to a banana trunk
Consciousness same as a magic show
