CHAPTER

How to Make an End to Suffering Without Abandoning These Tendencies

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.
