[1346] Bhikkhus, when concentration (samādhi) through mindfulness of breathing (ānāpānasati) has been developed and cultivated in this way, if he feels a pleasant feeling (vedanā), he understands: 'It is impermanent'; he understands: 'It is not clung to'; he understands: 'It is not delighted in.' If he feels a painful feeling, he understands: 'It is impermanent'; he understands: 'It is not clung to'; he understands: 'It is not delighted in.' If he feels a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, he understands: 'It is impermanent'; he understands: 'It is not clung to'; he understands: 'It is not delighted in.' If he feels a pleasant feeling, he feels it detached; if he feels a painful feeling, he feels it detached; if he feels a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, he feels it detached. When feeling a feeling terminating with the body, he understands: 'I feel a feeling terminating with the body.' When feeling a feeling terminating with life, he understands: 'I feel a feeling terminating with life.' He understands: 'With the breaking up of the body, following the exhaustion of life, all that is felt, not being delighted in, will become cool right here.'
