36. Vedanāsaṁyutta: On Feelings

I. With Verses — SN36.1: Immersion

1“Mendicants, there are these three feelings. What three?

Pleasant, painful, and neutral feeling. These are the three feelings.

2With immersion and situational awareness,
a mindful disciple of the Buddha
understands feelings,
the cause of feelings,

3where they cease,
and the path that leads to their ending.
With the ending of feelings, a mendicant
is hungerless, extinguished.”

1"Tisso imā, bhikkhave, vedanā. Katamā tisso?

Sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā – imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso vedanāti.

2Samāhito sampajāno,
sato buddhassa sāvako;
Vedanā ca pajānāti,
vedanānañca sambhavaṁ.

3Yattha cetā nirujjhanti,
maggañca khayagāminaṁ;
Vedanānaṁ khayā bhikkhu,
nicchāto parinibbuto"ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
