Bahuvedanīya Sutta

Sutta

부처님이 느낌을 두 가지로 가르치시는지 세 가지로 가르치시는지를 두고 두 제자 사이에 생긴 의견 차이를 해소하는 경으로, 부처님은 사용하는 분류법에 따라 두 답이 모두 옳다고 설명하시며, 감각적 쾌락을 선정을 통해 얻는 더 깊은 즐거움보다 훨씬 낮게 자리매김하신다.

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.
