hi Traveller

according to the suttas, the skandha that regards itself and/or the other khandhas as 'self' is sankhara (fabrications) khandha

kind regards



There is the case where an uninstructed person assumes form, feeling, perception, fabrication, sense consciousness to be "the self".

That assumption is a fabrication.

Now what is the cause, what is the origination, what is the birth, what is the coming-into-existence of that fabrication?

To an uninstructed person, touched by that which is felt born of contact with ignorance, craving arises. That fabrication [of 'self'] is born of that.

And that fabrication is inconstant, fabricated, dependently co-arisen. That craving... That feeling... That contact... That ignorance is inconstant, fabricated, dependently co-arisen.
