Yes. It is all about ‘how suffering is initiated/maintained’ and how ‘it can be stopped.’
- The critical point is that ‘suffering’ does not mean the ‘feeling of discomfort or pain’ at that moment.
- It is about ‘suffering in the rebirth process.’
- Thus, even if the feeling experienced at that moment is a ‘sukha vedana,’ attaching to it will still maintain the rebirth process. It will never stop ‘future suffering.’
- But that does mean one must avoid all ‘sukha vedana.’ Initially, one must stop doing akusala kamma based on attachment to such sukha vedana. However, as one comprehends more of the ‘anicca nature’ of trying to get more of such sukha vedana, one will avoid excess sukha vedana and try to live a simple life.
- Also, there is no point in subjecting oneself willingly to ‘dukha vedana‘ either. After all, the goal is to stop all ‘dukha vedana.’
