Here the Buddha defines the five sensitive indriyas.
The
pleasure-faculty & happiness-faculty are to be seen as a feeling of
pleasure.The pain-faculty & distress-faculty are to be seen as a
feeling of pain.The equanimity-faculty is to be seen as a feeling of
neither pleasure nor pain.The 5 are 3;&t he 3,5
Monks,
there are these five faculties. Which five? The pleasure-faculty, the
pain-faculty, the happiness-faculty, the distress-faculty, the
equanimity-faculty
And
what is the pleasure-faculty? Any physical pleasure, physical comfort
born of body-contact to be experienced as pleasure & comfort. That
is called the pleasure-faculty.
And
what is the pain-faculty? Any physical pain, physical discomfort born
of body-contact to be experienced as pain & discomfort. That is
called the pain-faculty.
And
what is the happiness-faculty? Any mental pleasure, mental comfort born
of intellect-contact to be experienced as pleasure & comfort. That
is called the happiness-faculty.
And
what is the distress-faculty? Any mental pain, mental discomfort born
of intellect-contact to be experienced as pain & discomfort. That is
called the distress-faculty.
And
what is the equanimity-faculty? Anything, physical or mental, to be
experienced as neither comfort nor discomfort. That is called the
equanimity-faculty.
With
regard to this, the pleasure-faculty & happiness-faculty are to be
seen as a feeling of pleasure. The pain-faculty & distress-faculty
are to be seen as a feeling of pain. The equanimity-faculty is to be
seen as a feeling of neither pleasure nor pain. Thus, by this
exposition, the five are three; and the three, five.
