I have been wondering what the connection between the five aggregates and the four establishments are. Below i give the translations into English that i've found when reading Bhikkhu Bodhi (BB) and Thich Nhat Hanh (TNH)
Five aggregates:
* Form
* Feelings
* Perceptions
* Volitional formations (BB); Mental Formations (TNH)
* Consciousness
Four establishments of mindfulness:
* Body
* Feelings
* Mind, States of Mind (BB); Mind, Mental Formations (TNH)
* Phenomena (BB); Objects of mind (TNH)
**How can i think about the connection between these lists?**
More specifically:
* Why is "perceptions" not included in the establishments of mindfulness?
* What's the difference between "form" and "body"?
* Are "Volitional formations (BB); Mental Formations (TNH)" and "Mind, States of Mind (BB); Mind, Mental Formations (TNH)" the same thing?
* What's the relation between "Consciousness" and "Phenomena (BB); Objects of mind (TNH)"?
