Bahuvedanīya Sutta
SuttaUn discours résolvant un désaccord entre deux disciples sur le nombre de types de sensation enseignés par le Bouddha — deux ou trois —, où le Bouddha explique que les deux réponses sont correctes selon la classification utilisée, et place le plaisir sensuel bien en dessous des plaisirs plus profonds obtenus par l’absorption méditative.
Pañcakaṅga asks Udāyī (Paṇḍita Udāyī, says MA.ii.629) how many kinds of feelings the Buddha mentions. Udāyi answers that there are three:
pleasant,
unpleasant and
indifferent.
Pañcakaṅga, however, insists that there are but two: pleasant and unpleasant. Ānanda, overhearing the conversation, reports it to the Buddha, who says that both Pañcakaṅga and Udāyi are correct because he himself classified feelings in various ways; sensual pleasures might be pleasant, but are not the highest pleasures; far better and more excellent are the pleasures enjoyed by a monk who develops the four jhānas, the plane of infinity of consciousness and the plane of nought.
M.i.396 ff; the Sutta is repeated at S.iv.223 ff., under the name of Pañcakaṅga Sutta.
