How to Make an End to Suffering Without Abandoning These Tendencies
The Buddha was very clear on this point. He said that one should make an end to suffering without abandoning the underlying tendencies of desire for pleasant feeling, aversion towards unpleasant ones, and ignorance towards neutral ones. So how do we put this teaching into practice? The Buddha goes on in the suta, he says, when feeling a pleasant feeling one knows I feel a pleasant feeling. When feeling an unpleasant feeling one know I feel an unpleasant feeling. And when feeling a neutral feeling one knowing I feel a neutral feeling. It's the simple bare attention, the simple recognition of this feeling aspect in each moment's experience.
