On Page Thirty-Nine, Sayadaw begins a presentation on the eight factors of the Eightfold Path, with right view, right thought and right speech. Both right view and right thought are broken down thusly:
- (Right view and thought of... ) the five aggregates of clinging
- Dependent origination
- The cessation of the aggregates
- The eightfold path

So the aggregates and dependent origination figure in pretty big. You can recite all sorts of Buddhist stories, but if you don't want to look at the illusions of the body and mind and the big wheel, skip tea with Sayadaw.
