The 8 Aspects of Feeling ... !!!

[Guest guest]

Friends:

 

These Eight Aspects of Feeling should be well Considered & Understood!!!

A certain Bhikkhu once asked the Blessed Buddha: Venerable Sir,

 

 

1: What is Feeling? 2: What is the cause of Feeling? 3: What is the way to emergence of Feeling? 4: What is the ceasing of Feeling? 5: What is the way to cease Feeling? 6: What is the satisfaction in Feeling? 7: What is the danger in Feeling? 8: What is the escape from Feeling?

There are, Bhikkhu, these three Feelings: 1: Pleasant Feeling, Painful Feeling, & Neither-painful-nor-pleasant Feeling. This is Feeling...2: Sense Contact is the proximate cause of Feeling...3: Craving is the way leading to the emergence of Feeling...4: Ending of contact, ceases Feeling instantly...5: This Noble Eightfold Way is the way to cease Feeling...6: The delight and joy of Feeling: This is the satisfaction within Feeling... 7: That Feeling is impermanent, subject to change & suffering: This is the danger in Feeling... 8: The removal & elimination of desire and lust for Feeling: This is the escape from Feeling...

Comment:Running after pleasurable feeling like mad robots, beings come to pain & death again & again...
