SN 36.15 With Ānanda (1st)


15. Paṭhamaānandasutta	15. With Ānanda (1st)
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi, ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:	Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha … sat down to one side, and said to him:
“katamā nu kho, bhante, vedanā, katamo vedanāsamudayo, katamo vedanānirodho, katamā vedanānirodhagāminī paṭipadā?	“Sir, what is feeling? What’s the origin of feeling? What’s the cessation of feeling? What’s the practice that leads to the cessation of feeling?
Ko vedanāya assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṃ nissaraṇan”ti?	And what is feeling’s gratification, drawback, and escape?”

(1. What is vedana?)


“Tisso imā, ānanda, vedanā—	“Ānanda, there are Three of these experienced-sensations:
(1) 🙂 Sukhā vedanā,	(1) 🙂 pleasant experienced-sensations,
(2) 😢 dukkhā vedanā,	(2) 😢 painful experienced-sensations,
(3) 😐 a-dukkham-a-sukhā vedanā—	(3) 😐 neither-painful-nor-pleasant experienced-sensations.
imā vuccanti, ānanda, vedanā.	These are called experienced-sensations.

(2. What is vedana’s origination?)


Phassa-samudayā vedanā-samudayo;	(with) contact’s-origination (there is) experienced-sensations-origination.

(3. What is vedana’s cessation?)


phassa-nirodhā vedanā-nirodho.	(with) contact’s-cessation (there is) experienced-sensations-cessation.

(4. What is practice that leads to vedana’s cessation?)


Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo vedanānirodhagāminī paṭipadā, seyyathidaṃ—	The practice that leads to the cessation of feelings is simply this noble eightfold path, that is:
sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi.	right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right rememberfulness, and right undistractible-lucidity.

(5. What is vedana’s gratification?)


Yaṃ vedanaṃ paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṃ somanassaṃ, ayaṃ vedanāya assādo.	The pleasure and happiness that arise from feeling: this is its gratification.

(6. What is the drawback?)


Yaṃ vedanā aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā, ayaṃ vedanāya ādīnavo.	That feeling is impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is its drawback.

(7. What is the escape?)


Yo vedanāya chandarāgavinayo chandarāgappahānaṃ, idaṃ vedanāya nissaraṇaṃ.	Removing and giving up desire and greed for feeling: this is its escape.

(cut and paste from SN 36.11, sub ‘ananda’ for bhikkhu)


Atha kho panānanda, mayā anupubbasaṅkhārānaṃ nirodho akkhāto.	But I have also explained the progressive cessation of conditions.
