Vedană, Buddha's Contribution to Meditation...
In Sanskrit and Pali, all
sensations whether
pleasant, un-pleasant or neutral are Vedanā. The inevitable contact
of our senses with the external world is experienced by us as
raw physical sensations on the body. An unconscious part of our mind constantly reacts to
these sensations, creating liking, craving and attachment to
the pleasant sensations and aversion towards
unpleasant sensations. According to Lord Buddha, this attachment or
aversion towards something which is impermanent is the
cause of our suffering.
Buddha realised that objective concentrated awareness of Vedanā
in the physical body while keeping the mind free of craving or
aversion; led to an understanding into the impermanent nature
of all things and a path of liberation from suffering. Sensations whether gross like pain, heaviness, numbness
or subtle like tingling or pulsing are all impermanent. They arise
and pass away. Being able to observe this phenomenon within the
framework of your own body, gives you an understanding based on your
own direct experience, of the transience of all things that we
consider important.
