The
blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus and friends, there are these three
feelings...
What three?
1:
Pleasant feeling,
2: Painful feeling,
3: Neutral,
neither-painful-nor-pleasant, feeling.
These are the three basic feelings! A disciple of the Buddha,
aware,
focused,
clearly
comprehending, understands these three
feelings.
And that contact is the cause of any feeling. When contact
ceases
feelings fade & vanish. The Noble Way leads to their
elimination...
With the final quenching of feeling, one is
freed of all yearning and
thus
fully stilled...
Whether feeling is
pleasant, painful or neither-painful-nor-pleasant,
whether internal or external;
whatever kind of feeling there is:
Knowing: This is Suffering, perishing, momentary, disintegrating...
Having been
touched and contacted by them,
noting their instant
ceasing, their transience, one gradually loses all passion
for them...
There are these three basic feelings. What three?
Pleasant
feeling, painful feeling,
and neutral feeling.
Pleasant feeling causes craving towards the felt object to arise!
Painful feeling causes craving away from the felt object to arise!
Neutral
feeling causes craving for something else, than the object!
All mental states converges on this
by mind created
quality of feeling...
All converges on Feeling (Vedanā):
