[340] "And how is it, bhikkhus, that in dependence on the diversity of elements (dhātu) there arises the diversity of contacts (phassa), and in dependence on the diversity of contacts there arises the diversity of feelings (vedanā)? In dependence on the eye element, bhikkhus, there arises eye-contact; in dependence on eye-contact there arises feeling born of eye-contact … in dependence on the mind element there arises mind-contact; in dependence on mind-contact there arises feeling born of mind-contact. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that in dependence on the diversity of elements there arises the diversity of contacts, and in dependence on the diversity of contacts there arises the diversity of feelings."
