Default What are the five aggregates? Why did Buddha mention them?
dear forum

in his 1st sermon & throughout his teachings, Buddha mentioned the five aggregates, namely, body, feeling, perception, fabrication & sense consciousness

the renowned Mahayana Heart Sutra begins by mentioning the five aggregates (are void)

what exactly are the five aggregates? for example, are they things created by the ignorant mind? are they functional attributes of life? did the Buddha teach about them so the mind does not ignorantly create them?

in our opinion, why did Buddha mention them? in our experience, what are they?
