All living beings are made of the five skandhas of form, feeling sensation, perception, mental formations and consciousness which accumulate to form the body and they are known as the five aggregates of clinging. The five aggregates arise through causes and conditions, therefore they are illusory and not permanent. Do not be attached to not pleasant feelings and thoughts, and just let go of not helpful thoughts. When we observe he five skandhas are empty, it doesn't mean it is nothingness. It means we have understood that it is the law of dependent origination and no longer cling to it. Everything is just arising and cessation.
众生由色、受、想、行、识，积集而成身，故称五蕴。五蕴是通过因缘和合才现前的，所以说他是虚幻的，不是真实存在的。
