Talk:Vedanā

message: I flagged the following existing statement from this article with a "Fact"/"Citation Needed" tag:
:"Vedanā is described by the Buddha as having both mental and physical aspects; therefore, vedanā offers a means to examine the totality of the mental-physical phenomenon."
I can infer that the first part of this sentence might allude to the notion that there are six classes of vedana associated with five so-called "physical" and one "mental" sense base; or, relatedly, it could be inferred from vedana's arising from the contact of internal and external sense bases; so, honestly, I'm open to an explanation regarding the first half of this sentence and then I'd be content with removing the first "Fact" tag.
However, the phrase "totality of the mental-physical phenomenon" seems too big a leap from the first part of the sentence.  Admittedly, this sounds like something that might be derived from the Visuddhimagga (and I hope to check this out in the next several days) but, using logic alone, there appears to be a large inferential gap between these two sentence halves, at least to me.
I hope this makes sense.  If this is just a matter of my vast ignorance, I appreciate any effort put forth to educate me based on a reliable source.  Thanks so much! Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 18:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since this has gone unanswered for almost ten months, I'm going to remove the uncited material in question.  (Actually, something similar to the first part of the sentence re: vedana being divisible into two parts will soon be added into an earlier part of this article -- with citations [SN 36.19, SN 36.22] ;-) ).

message: *The Answer to Anger & Aggression is Patience by Pema Chödrön
In case anger and aggression belong to Vedanā, it would be nice to refer to the above mentioned teaching of Pema Chödrön for example.

replies: text: According to Pema Chodron's own teacher, Trunga Rinpoche (as well as others), "emotions" such as "anger" are not part of vedana.  See this article's section entitled "'Feeling,' not 'emotion'."  I hope this helps, 24.136.229.74 (talk) 07:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
