[122] "But, friend, might there be … ?" "There might, friend," the Venerable Sāriputta said. "When, friend, a noble disciple understands feeling (vedanā), understands the origin of feeling, understands the cessation of feeling, and understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of feeling — in that way too, friend, a noble disciple is one of right view (sammādiṭṭhi), whose view is straight, who is endowed with perfect confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma (saddhamma).
"And what, friend, is feeling, what is the origin of feeling, what is the cessation of feeling, what is the way of practice leading to the cessation of feeling? There are, friend, these six classes of feeling: feeling born of eye-contact (phassa), feeling born of ear-contact, feeling born of nose-contact, feeling born of tongue-contact, feeling born of body-contact, feeling born of mind-contact. With the origin of contact there is the origin of feeling; with the cessation of contact there is the cessation of feeling. This very Noble Eightfold Path is the way of practice leading to the cessation of feeling, namely: right view … right concentration (samādhi).
"When, friend, a noble disciple thus understands feeling, thus understands the origin of feeling, thus understands the cessation of feeling, thus understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of feeling, he, having entirely abandoned the underlying tendency to lust (rāgānusaya) … — in that way too, friend, a noble disciple is one of right view, whose view is straight, who is endowed with perfect confidence in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma."
