sn36.8:5.1 While a mendicant is meditating like this—mindful, aware, diligent, keen, and resolute—if pleasant feelings arise, they understand:
sn36.8:5.3 ‘A pleasant feeling has arisen in me.
sn36.8:5.4 That’s dependent, not independent.
sn36.8:5.5 Dependent on what?
sn36.8:5.6 Dependent on this very contact.
sn36.8:5.7 But this contact is impermanent, conditioned, dependently originated.
sn36.8:5.8 So how could a pleasant feeling be permanent, since it has arisen dependent on contact that is impermanent, conditioned, and dependently originated?’
sn36.8:5.9 They meditate observing impermanence, vanishing, dispassion, cessation, and letting go in contact and pleasant feeling.
sn36.8:5.10 As they do so, they give up the underlying tendency for greed for contact and pleasant feeling.
