On Insight into the Nature of Feelings

"Just as in the sky above winds of various kinds are blowing:
 Coming from the east or west, blowing from the north or south,
 Some carry dust and others not, cold are some and others hot,
 Some are fierce and others mild -- their blowing is so different.

So also in this body here, feelings of different kind arise:
The pleasant feelings and the painful and the neutral ones.

But if a monk is ardent and does not neglect
To practice mindfulness and comprehension clear,
The nature of all feelings will he understand,
And having penetrated them, he will be taint-free in this very life."
