vedanā

Translation

feeling

Background

Vedanā comprises both bodily and mental feelings (but does not include "emotions," which are states of mind). Feelings have one of three "hedonic tones" (Anālayo): pleasant (pleasure, ease), unpleasant (painful, stress), or neutral (neither pleasure nor painful).
