Clinging
The holding on that grows out of craving: to sense objects, to views, to rules and observances, to the idea of a self. The five aggregates become a burden only through clinging.

[8] Root Guru, who is the embodiment of all sources of refuge, I supplicate you: bless me, I pray! [9] Imagine and continually recall the Buddha, Appearing very clearly in the space in front of you. [10] The nature of mind is like space, primordially empty; Rest in this empty cognizance without the slightest grasping. [11] All that appears within the sky of mind is like a rainbow; Understand the unity of appearance and emptiness to be illusory. [12] Meditate upon your physical body as the form of the deity—appearing yet empty; And your speech as the mantra to be recited—audible yet empty.
