Iti 52 · uttaka 52
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Monks, there are these three feelings. Which three? A feeling of pleasure, a feeling of pain, a feeling of neither pleasure nor pain. These are the three feelings.”
Centered,
alert,
mindful,
the Awakened One’s
disciple
discerns feelings,
how feelings come into play,
where they cease,
& the path to their ending.
With the ending of feelings, a monk
free from hunger
is totally unbound.
