[823] Bhikkhus, dependent on the eye and forms there arises eye-consciousness; the meeting of the three is contact (phassa); with contact as condition there arises what is felt (vedanā), whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant. Being touched by a pleasant feeling, he does not delight in it, does not welcome it, does not remain holding to it; the underlying tendency to lust (rāgānusaya) does not lie latent in him. Being touched by a painful feeling, he does not sorrow, is not distressed, does not lament, does not weep beating his breast, does not fall into confusion; the underlying tendency to aversion (paṭighānusaya) does not lie latent in him. Being touched by a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, he understands as it really is the origin, the passing away, the gratification, the danger, and the escape in regard to that feeling; the underlying tendency to ignorance (avijjānusaya) does not lie latent in him. Bhikkhus, that a person — having abandoned the underlying tendency to lust in regard to pleasant feeling, having dispelled the underlying tendency to aversion in regard to painful feeling, having eradicated the underlying tendency to ignorance in regard to neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, having abandoned ignorance (avijjā) and aroused true knowledge (vijjā) — will here and now make an end of suffering (dukkha): this is possible.
