[385] Bhikkhus, if, while that bhikkhu dwells thus mindful, clearly comprehending, heedful (appamatta), ardent, and resolute (pahitatta), a pleasant feeling (vedanā) arises, he understands thus: "This pleasant feeling has arisen in me. Now it has arisen in dependence, not without dependence. In dependence on what? In dependence on this very contact (phassa). But this contact is impermanent (anicca), conditioned (saṅkhata), dependently arisen (paṭiccasamuppanna). So when a pleasant feeling has arisen in dependence on a contact that is impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, how could it be permanent?" He dwells contemplating impermanence in contact and in pleasant feeling; he dwells contemplating vanishing, contemplating fading away, contemplating cessation, contemplating relinquishment. As he dwells contemplating impermanence in contact and in pleasant feeling, contemplating vanishing, contemplating fading away, contemplating cessation, contemplating relinquishment, the underlying tendency to lust (rāgānusaya) with regard to contact and to pleasant feeling is abandoned in him.
