“The Pāli term for "feeling" is vedanā, derived from the verb vedeti, which means both "to feel" and "to know". In its usage in the discourses, vedanā comprises both bodily and mental feelings. Vedanā does not include "emotion" in its range of meaning. Although emotions arise depending on the initial input provided by feeling, they are more complex mental phenomena than bare feeling itself and are therefore rather the domain of the next [third] satipaṭṭhāna, contemplation of states of mind.” EmotionMeditationBuddhismFeelingSutra Book:Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization Source: Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization
“Another aspect inviting contemplation is the fact that the affective tone of any feeling depends on the type of contact that has caused its arising. Once this conditioned nature of feelings is fully apprehended, detachment arises naturally and one's identification with feelings starts to dissolve.” MeditationBuddhismFeelingDetachmentSutra Book:Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization Source: Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization
