  • How can Dukkha be felt as Sukha, Dukha and AdukhamaSukha
  • If so “Where” is it “Felt” or is it something which is “understood”/”wisdom”?
  • Is everything Dukkha? If so “what” is overcome and “how”?”

The actual origin of sukha/dukha cannot be understood until one understands “saññā.” Our perception of the world is distorted, and I call it “distorted saññā.” Most vedana are “mind-made vedana” that arise based on that “distorted saññā.” Most immoral deeds (akusala kamma) are done based on that “distorted saññā.”

  • You are new to the forum and may not have read the related posts.
  • I suggest reading the recommended posts in #1 of “Sotapanna Stage and Distorted/Defiled Saññā.”
  • This is a somewhat deep concept. Don’t rush into it. Take the time to read the suggested sections.
  • Feel free to ask questions on this thread. When asking questions, please provide the specific post and the specific bullet numbers. That will help me understand the question better.

P.S. I know that even those who have been following the website may not have understood this point. Anyone is encouraged to ask questions. This may not be an easy concept to understand.
