Paṭhamavedanāsutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, vedanā.“Monks, there are these three feelings. Katamā tisso?Which three? Sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā—A feeling of pleasure, a feeling of pain, a feeling of neither pleasure nor pain. imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso vedanā”ti.These are the three feelings.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Samāhito sampajāno, sato buddhassa sāvako;Centered, alert, mindful, the Awakened One’s disciple Vedanā ca pajānāti, vedanānañca sambhavaṁ.discerns feelings, how feelings come into play,
Yattha cetā nirujjhanti, maggañca khayagāminaṁ;where they cease, & the path to their ending. Vedanānaṁ khayā bhikkhu, nicchāto parinibbuto”ti.With the ending of feelings, a monk free from hunger is totally unbound.
