Paṭhamavedanāsutta

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, vedanā. Katamā tisso? Sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā— imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso vedanā”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Mendicants, there are these three feelings. What three? Pleasant, painful, and neutral feeling. These are the three feelings.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“Samāhito sampajāno, sato buddhassa sāvako; Vedanā ca pajānāti, vedanānañca sambhavaṁ.

“Stilled, aware, a mindful disciple of the Buddha understands feelings, the cause of feelings,

Yattha cetā nirujjhanti, maggañca khayagāminaṁ; Vedanānaṁ khayā bhikkhu, nicchāto parinibbuto”ti.

where they cease, and the path that leads to their ending. With the ending of feelings, a mendicant is hungerless, quenched.”

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Tatiyaṁ.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
