“Why is it that we call them feelings? A feeling that is combined with understanding leads to pleasure, while a feeling that is combined with a lack of understanding leads to pain. What does it mean to combine a feeling with understanding? It means that there is nothing there that feels—no self, no being, no life force, and no person. Feeling is attachment. Feeling is appropriation. Feeling is grasping. Feeling is misunderstanding. Feeling is conceptualization. Feeling is the tendency to see. Feeling is the perceptions of the eye, and so forth, up to and including the perceptions of the mind. Feeling is the perception of form, and so forth, up to and including the perception of mental objects. Feeling is what arises from contact with the eye, feelings that are referred to as either painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. Internal and external phenomena can be added here as before. Feeling is what arises from contact with the mind, feelings that are referred to as either painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant.
