The Third Analysis Discourse

508.More Details "There are, monks, these five faculties. Which five? The faculty of pleasantness, the faculty of pain, the faculty of pleasure, the faculty of displeasure, the faculty of equanimity.

"And what, monks, is the faculty of pleasantness? Whatever bodily pleasure, bodily comfort, pleasant and comfortable feeling born of body-contact - this is called, monks, the faculty of pleasantness.

"And what, monks, is the faculty of pain? Whatever bodily pain, bodily discomfort, painful and uncomfortable feeling born of body-contact - this is called, monks, the faculty of pain.

"And what, monks, is the faculty of pleasure? Whatever mental pleasure, mental comfort, pleasant and comfortable feeling born of mind-contact - this is called, monks, the faculty of pleasure.

"And what, monks, is the faculty of displeasure? Whatever mental pain, mental discomfort, painful and uncomfortable feeling born of mind-contact - this is called, monks, the faculty of displeasure.

"And what, monks, is the faculty of equanimity? Whatever bodily or mental feeling that is neither comfortable nor uncomfortable - this is called, monks, the faculty of equanimity.

"Therein, monks, both the faculty of pleasantness and the faculty of pleasure should be seen as pleasant feeling. Therein, monks, both the faculty of pain and the faculty of displeasure should be seen as painful feeling. Therein, monks, that is to say the faculty of equanimity, should be seen as neither-unpleasant-nor-pleasant feeling. Thus indeed, monks, these five faculties become three, and three become five by method of exposition." The eighth.
