What three? Pleasant, painful, and neutral feeling. Pleasant feeling should be seen as suffering. Painful feeling should be seen as a dart. Neutral feeling should be seen as impermanent. When a mendicant has seen these three feelings in this way, they\u2019re called a noble mendicant who sees rightly, has cut off craving, cast off the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cA mendicant who sees pleasure as pain, and suffering as a dart, and that peaceful, neutral feeling as impermanent sees rightly. And when freed in regards to that, that peaceful sage, with perfect insight, has truly slipped their yokes.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Feelings (2nd)","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":153}
