Sankhata


Saṅkhata refers to any phenomena conditioned by other phenomena produced through causes. Sankhata is contrasted with Asankhata, which means Unconditioned referring to Nibbana.
It also denotes mental creations in the Pali language. As explained by the dependent origination concept, sankhatas condition the consciousness and are conditioned by ignorance. Sankhatas are part of the name and form and so are one of the five aggregates.

Sankhatas can be either pernicious, neutral or positive - associated with similar consciousness.
