Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 12.1.16

12.1.16

「云何比丘內觀痛痛？於是，比丘得樂痛時，即自覺知我得樂痛；得苦痛時，即自覺知我得苦痛；得不苦不樂痛時，即自覺知我得不苦不樂痛。若得食樂痛時，便自覺知我得食樂痛；若得食苦痛時，便自覺知我得食苦痛；若得食不苦不樂痛時，亦自覺知我食不苦不樂痛。若得不食樂痛時，便自覺知我得不食樂痛；若得不食苦痛時，亦自覺知我不食苦痛；若得不食不苦不樂痛時，亦自覺知我得不食不苦不樂痛。如是，比丘內自觀痛。

“How does a monk contemplate internal feeling as feeling? Here, when he has a pleasant feeling, a monk realizes, ‘I’m having a pleasant feeling.’ When he has a painful feeling, he realizes, ‘I’m having a painful feeling.’ When he has a feeling that’s neither pleasant nor painful, he realizes, ‘I’m having a feeling that’s neither pleasant nor painful.’

“If he has a pleasant feeling from food, he realizes, ‘I’m having a pleasant feeling from this food.’ If he has a painful feeling from food, he realizes, ‘I’m having a painful feeling from this food.’ When he has a feeling that’s neither pleasant nor painful from food, he realizes, ‘I’m having a feeling that’s neither pleasant nor painful from this food.’

“If he has a pleasant feeling that’s not from food, he realizes, ‘I’m having a pleasant feeling that’s not from food.’ If he has a painful feeling that’s not from food, he realizes, ‘I’m having a painful feeling that’s not from food.’ When he has a feeling that’s neither pleasant nor painful that’s not from food, then he realizes, ‘I’m having a feeling that’s neither pleasant nor painful that’s not from food.’ A monk contemplates internal feeling in this way.
