Vedanā (Pāli; Sanskrit) is a Buddhist term traditionally translated as either "feeling"〔Generally, ''vedanā'' is considered to ''not'' include full-blown "emotions." See the section "Feeling," not "emotion" below.〕 or "sensation."〔See, for instance, Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 648, entry for "Vedanā" (retrieved 2008-01-09 from the "University of Chicago" at http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.3:1:2277.pali), which initially defines this Pali word simply as "feeling, sensation."〕 In general, ''vedanā'' refers to the pleasant, unpleasant and neutral sensations that occur when our internal sense organs come into contact with external sense objects and the associated consciousness. Vedanā is identified within the Buddhist teaching as follows: * One of the ''seven universal mental factors'' in the Theravāda Abhidharma. * One of the ''five universal mental factors'' in the Mahāyāna Abhidharma * One of the twelve links of dependent origination (in both Theravāda and Mahāyāna traditions) * One of the five skandas (in both Theravāda and Mahāyāna traditions) * One of the objects of focus within the four foundations of mindfulness practice In the context of the twelve links, craving for and attachment to vedanā leads to suffering; reciprocally, concentrated awareness and clear comprehension of vedanā can lead to Enlightenment and the extinction of the causes of suffering. ==Definitions== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vedanā」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
