3.60

Regarding the passage in the treatise, “The five sensations of pleasure and so forth … up to … based on nine, three faculties are established”: This is the second part, explaining the five sensations and the three undefiled faculties. Sensation is of three kinds: first, beneficial; second, harmful; third, neither harmful nor beneficial. Furthermore, there are two kinds: first, bodily sensation, namely, associated with the five consciousnesses; second, mental sensation, namely, associated with the mental consciousness. Bodily sensation that is beneficial and mental sensation in the third dhyāna that is beneficial are called pleasant sensations; bodily sensation that is harmful is called painful sensation. Mental sensation below the second dhyāna that is beneficial is called joy sensation; when harmful, it is called sorrow sensation. That which is present in both body and mind and is neither harmful nor beneficial is called equanimity sensation.
