I asked ChatGPT, *Is vedana a sanskhara?* Following is its answer: > In Buddhist philosophy, "vedanā" (feeling or sensation) is distinct > from "saṅkhāra" (mental formations or volitional activities), though > they are both components of the Five Aggregates (pañca-khandha) which > constitute a being. > > The Five Aggregates are: > 1. **Rūpa**: Form or physical body. > 2. **Vedanā**: Feeling or sensation (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral experiences). > 3. **Saññā**: Perception or recognition. > 4. **Saṅkhāra**: Mental formations or volitional formations (includes all types of mental activities such as intentions, thoughts, desires, > and emotions). > 5. **Viññāṇa**: Consciousness. > > So, vedanā is not the same as saṅkhāra. Vedanā refers specifically to > the experiences of pleasure, pain, or neutrality, whereas saṅkhāra > encompasses a broader range of mental activities and processes, > including the volitional acts that condition future experiences and > actions. Do you agree with the answer?
