Is it not clinging that conditions suffering and not feeling. Clinging to ephemeral phenomena, feelings, pleasurable and unpleasurable and neither pleasurable nor unpleasurable. The means to learn and practice how to abandon the tendency to cling. This is possible and in the practice progress is pr...
I don't The body does, conditions do There is no me or mine on the transcendal level It's a product of objectification, classification, perception At least thats what a realized person would say, i think Hey stuff is complicated, i dont pretend to understand it A material body does nothing in its o...
That's still a feeling. Pleasure or relief from stress is still a feeling. Not according to Buddhism, in Buddhism there are 3 feelings, painful, pleasurable and neutral, and they must be born of sensory contact. So in Buddhism, the dissipation of a feeling is not a feeling. So the dissipation of pa...
Nibbana is not a feeling. It's described as a pleasure metaphorically, not literally. For example, the pleasure one would get by leaving screaming children, which is removing something from experience. It also isn't a state of being either. That's still a feeling. Pleasure or relief from stress is ...
It's a complicated topic, all depends on one's view Not view as in views (judgements, opinions), but view as in the way you "see reality", the way you perceive, whether you have vision/knowledge (vijja) or you don't (avijja), or if something in between (on the path to vijja) worldly =/= o...
Nirvana is a state of being,a feeling. Is that dukkha as well? Nibbana is not a feeling. It's described as a pleasure metaphorically, not literally. For example, the pleasure one would get by leaving screaming children, which is removing something from experience. It also isn't a state of being eit...
My interpretation, although I haven't read the pali yet: Pleasure is [nearly] the same as pain. Both arise, both cease, both are and or lead to stress. Also, both are perceptions. Pain is a perception. Perception is an arrow. Classifying into good or bad, appealing or unappealing, pleasure or pain,...

This is a slightly different take on the notion of pleasant vedanā also being a form of dukkha , the usual reasons being given are that pleasure is changeable, and conditioned, therefore unsatisfactory. I like the idea that suffering is essentially passive, and how it therefore might also include p...
Whoever sees pleasure as pain, and pain as an arrow, and that there is nothing between the two: With what will he be what in the world? Sariputta Theragatha And this means? My interpretation, although I haven't read the pali yet: Pleasure is [nearly] the same as pain. Both arise, both cease, both a...
This is terribly wrong. A bullet and a massage are qualitatively and consequently totally different. This equation of the two is an affront to common sense language. I don't think that they have différent quality/nature. Purely mechanical speaking they nature is to exercise pressure. But because of...
