mn136:6.1 When he said this, Venerable Udāyī said to him,
mn136:6.2 “But perhaps, sir, Venerable Samiddhi spoke in reference to the statement:
mn136:6.3 ‘Suffering includes whatever is felt.’”
mn136:6.4 But the Buddha said to Venerable Ānanda,
mn136:6.5 “See what this futile man Udāyī comes up with?
mn136:6.6 I knew that
mn136:6.7 he was coming up with something irrational.
mn136:6.8 Right from the start Potaliputta asked about the three feelings.
mn136:6.9 Suppose the futile man Samiddhi had answered the wanderer Potaliputta’s question like this:
mn136:6.10 ‘After doing an intentional deed to be experienced as pleasant by way of body, speech, or mind, one feels pleasure.
mn136:6.11 After doing an intentional deed to be experienced as painful by way of body, speech, or mind, one feels pain.
mn136:6.12 After doing an intentional deed to be experienced as neutral by way of body, speech, or mind, one feels neutral.’
mn136:6.13 Answering in this way, Samiddhi would have rightly answered Potaliputta.
mn136:6.14 Still, who are those foolish and incompetent wanderers of other religions to understand the Realized One’s great analysis of deeds?
mn136:6.15 If you would all listen, Ānanda, I will explain the Realized One’s great analysis of deeds.”
