Pahānasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Saḷāyatanavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 18 · Section 363

[363] Bhikkhus, there are these three feelings (vedanā). What three? Pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. Bhikkhus, in regard to pleasant feeling the underlying tendency (anusaya) to lust should be abandoned; in regard to painful feeling the underlying tendency to aversion should be abandoned; in regard to neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling the underlying tendency to ignorance should be abandoned. When, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu has abandoned the underlying tendency to lust in regard to pleasant feeling, has abandoned the underlying tendency to aversion in regard to painful feeling, and has abandoned the underlying tendency to ignorance in regard to neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, this bhikkhu, bhikkhus, is called one without the underlying tendency to lust, one who sees rightly. He has cut off craving (taṇhā), severed the fetter, and, by the complete breaking through of conceit, has made an end of suffering (dukkha).
