feeling born of nose contact …
feeling born of tongue contact …
feeling born of body contact …
Is feeling born of mind contact permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with feeling born of eye contact, ear contact, nose contact, tongue contact, body contact, and mind contact. …”
