In another explanation I\u2019ve spoken of three feelings, or five, six, eighteen, thirty-six, or a hundred and eight feelings. I\u2019ve taught the Dhamma with all these explanations. This being so, you can expect that those who don\u2019t concede, approve, or agree with what has been well spoken will fight, quarrel, and dispute, continually wounding each other with barbed words. I\u2019ve taught the Dhamma with all these explanations. This being so, you can expect that those who do concede, approve, or agree with what has been well spoken will live in harmony, appreciating each other, without dispute, blending like milk and water, and regarding each other with kindly eyes. There are these five kinds of sensual stimulation. \u2026 It\u2019s possible that wanderers of other religions might say: \u2018The ascetic Gotama spoke of the cessation of perception and feeling, and he includes it in happiness. What\u2019s up with that?\u2019 Mendicants, when wanderers of other religions say this, you should say to them: \u2018Reverends, when the Buddha describes what\u2019s included in happiness, he\u2019s not just referring to pleasant feeling. The Realized One describes pleasure as included in happiness wherever it is found, and in whatever context.\u2019\u201d","title":"A Mendicant","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":202}
