- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Friend Sāriputta, it is said, ‘feeling, feeling.’ What now is feeling?"
"There are, friend, these three feelings: pleasant feeling, painful feeling, neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. These are the three feelings."
"But, friend, is there a path, is there a way for the full understanding of these three feelings?"
"There is a path, friend, there is a way … this Noble Eightfold Path … ." sn.iv.256
1"‘Vedanā, vedanā’ti, āvuso sāriputta, vuccati. Katamā nu kho, āvuso, vedanā"ti?
"Tisso imāvuso, vedanā. Katamā tisso? Sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā – imā kho, āvuso, tisso vedanā"ti.
"Atthi panāvuso, maggo atthi paṭipadā, etāsaṁ tissannaṁ vedanānaṁ pariññāyā"ti?
"Atthi kho, āvuso, maggo atthi paṭipadā, etāsaṁ tissannaṁ vedanānaṁ pariññāyā"ti. "Katamo panāvuso, maggo katamā paṭipadā, etāsaṁ tissannaṁ vedanānaṁ pariññāyā"ti? "Ayameva kho, āvuso, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, etāsaṁ tissannaṁ vedanānaṁ pariññāya, seyyathidaṁ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. Ayaṁ kho, āvuso, maggo ayaṁ paṭipadā, etāsaṁ tissannaṁ vedanānaṁ pariññāyā"ti. "Bhaddako, āvuso, maggo bhaddikā paṭipadā, etāsaṁ tissannaṁ vedanānaṁ pariññāya. Alañca panāvuso sāriputta, appamādāyā"ti.
Sattamaṁ.
