sn35.130:1.4 ‘Diversity of elements gives rise to diversity of contacts, and diversity of contacts gives rise to diversity of feelings.’
sn35.130:1.5 How does diversity of elements give rise to diversity of contacts, and diversity of contacts gives rise to diversity of feelings?”
sn35.130:1.6 “Householder, it’s when a mendicant sees a sight with their eyes and understands it to be agreeable.
sn35.130:1.7 There is eye consciousness; and pleasant feeling arises dependent on a contact to be experienced as pleasant.
sn35.130:1.8 Then they see a sight and understand it to be disagreeable.
sn35.130:1.9 There is eye consciousness; and painful feeling arises dependent on a contact to be experienced as painful.
