I am now experimenting with translating the five skandhas or 'heaps' into which the early Buddhists deconstructed the self into non-plurals. E.g., a form, a feeling, a perception, an impulse, consciousness.

This works in the context of applied practice or where that is being laid out in the sutra text.

BTW, I'm still translating the 25kpp. I am on chapter 26. (64 to go!)
