Science of feelings : Budha

Vedana paccaya tanha; -Feelings as the base, craving arises;

Tanha paccaya upadanam; - craving as the base, attachment arises;

Upadana paccaya bhava; - attachment as the base, the process of becoming               arises;

Bhava paccaya jati; - process of becoming as the base, birth arises;

Jati paccya jara-maranam; - birth as the base, ageing and death arise;

Soka-parideva – together with sorrow, lamentation,

Dukkha-domanassupayasa sambhavanti. – physical & mental sufferings & tribulations.

Evame-tassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti. – thus arises this entire mass of suffering.

 When these very vedana (feelings) are understood properly and one develops detachment and equanimity towards them it leads to the cessation of entire mass of suffering as explained in the following:

Vedana nirodha tanha nirodho; - with cessation of attachment to feelings, craving ceases;

Tanha nirodha upadana nirodho; - with cessation of craving, clinging ceases;

Upadana nirodha -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eame-tassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hoti. - thus the entire suffering ceases.
