 1 1|              if there's a feeling of pleasure or pain, don't focus on
 2 1|            get snagged on either the pleasure or the pain. It will simply
 3 2|           physical flavors -- bodily pleasure -- or good mental flavors,
 4 2|         desires we feel for physical pleasure. And on top of that, there
 5 2|        stubborn desires for physical pleasure that tempt you and lead
 6 2|              and settle for whatever pleasure comes in the immediate present,
 7 2|          pain or physical and mental pleasure. Actually, pleasure is more
 8 2|           mental pleasure. Actually, pleasure is more treacherous than
 9 2|             as to let go of both the pleasure and the pain? This is the
10 2|          practice we accept only the pleasure and stop when we run into
11 2|              stressful, and that the pleasure is inconstant and stressful,
12 2|            of the cravings that want pleasure, whether it's physical pleasure
13 2|      pleasure, whether it's physical pleasure or whatever. Our every activity --
14 2|            is really for the sake of pleasure, isn't it? ~This is why
15 2|             which we're deluded with pleasure. Whatever we do, we do for
16 2|            do, we do for the sake of pleasure without realizing how deeply
17 2|              we haven't seen through pleasure. We still think that it'
18 2|           ease to physical or mental pleasure. It's all stress. When you
19 2|             isn't focused on wanting pleasure all the time, its stresses
20 2|           you'll see that there's no pleasure or ease to the aggregates,
21 2|              there in our search for pleasure, finding nothing but pain
22 2|             and yet mistaking it for pleasure. This shows that we still
23 2|             because it's looking for pleasure, but once it realizes there'
24 2|             realizes there's no real pleasure to be found in that way,
25 2|           nothing but the desire for pleasure. So we have to contemplate
26 2|          that the aggregates have no pleasure to offer, that they're stressful
27 2|              for mental and physical pleasure. "Let tears bathe my cheeks,
28 3|             with finding comfort and pleasure, the day will never come
29 3|             ll be able to rise above pleasure and pain because you've
30 3|               you'll still yearn for pleasure -- and the more you yearn,
31 3|               This holds too for the pleasure that comes when the mind
32 3|            get stuck on the sense of pleasure that comes when they take
33 3|            because we still take our pleasure in consuming things. This
34 3|      swallowing the bait. We get our pleasure and that's all we want,
35 4|          time. Don't just aim at the pleasure of tranquility. Sit and
36 4|               the craving that wants pleasure is contented with it and
37 4|              wants to stay with that pleasure as long as possible. But
38 4|              stressful, with no real pleasure to them at all. Contemplate
39 4|            craving wants nothing but pleasure even though the aggregates
40 4|        though the aggregates have no pleasure to offer. The physical and
41 4|              the mind can rise above pleasure, above pain, above feeling,
42 4|         feeling -- if it still wants pleasure, is still attached to pleasure
43 4|       pleasure, is still attached to pleasure and pain -- then try to
44 4|              think that they're true pleasure, which makes us want them.
45 4|           wanting to get nothing but pleasure and then becoming entangled
46 4| consciousness that carry feelings of pleasure. But if you don't contemplate
47 4|            and not-selfness, with no pleasure or pain. ~The Lord Buddha
