sankhãra: As a general term, sankhãra refers to all forces that form or condi­tion things in the phenomenal world of mind and matter, and to those formed or conditioned phenomena that result. As the fourth component of personality (sankhãra khandha) it refers to thought and imagination; that is, the thoughts that constantly form in the mind and conceptual­ize about one’s personal perceptions. Sankhãra creates these ideas and then hands them on to saññã, which interprets and elaborates on them, making assumptions about their significance

行(sankhāra)：一般上，行是指造作形成有为世间物质与心理一切的力量，以及这造作的后果。作为组合成人的其中一蕴，行蕴(sankhārakhand-ha)是指念头与想象；也就是内心不断产生的思想以及对认知的概念化。行制造这些观念然后把它们交给想(saññā)，想即诠释并详尽地描述之，假设它们的意义。
