1. Pahāna Sutta.– All should be abandoned. The eye, forms, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, feelings arising from eye-contact — whether pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral — should be abandoned. The ear, sounds … the nose … tongue … the body … mind … and feelings arising from mental contact should be abandoned. S.iv.15.

2. Pahāna Sutta.– There are three feelings: pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral. The underlying tendency to lust should be abandoned in pleasant feelings. The underlying tendency to ill-will should be abandoned in unpleasant feelings. The underlying tendency to ignorance should be abandoned in neutral feelings. A monk who has done this sees things as rightly, he has cut off craving, broken through conceit, and put an end to suffering. S.iv.205.
