52. Pathamavedanasuttam ( 3 Sensation Types)

This was said by the Lord Buddha(Bhagavata), said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Monks, there are these three sensations. Which three? A sensation of pleasure, a sensation of pain, a sensation of neither pleasure nor pain. These are the three feelings(sensations).”

In trance, wholly aware(within self), focussed, the Buddha's disciple discerns sensations, how sensations come into play, where they cease, & the path to their ending. With the ending of sensations, a monk free from desire is totally unbound(nibbana achieved).
