Hi,

Can you explain this to me?
Does it means that Arahants do not have feeling/sensation?
Can Pali experts share some light on this if you have come across this passage before?

===

Regarding the experience of the arahant, the Suttanipata states that by the destruction of all feelings/sensations a monk lives desireless and at peace. [1] Once Sariputta was asked what happiness there can be when there is no feeling/sensation.[2] He explained that the absence of feeling/sensation itself is happiness. [3]

2. Kim pan'ettha n'atthi vedayitan ti: A IV 415
3. Etad eva khv'ettha sukham yad ettha n'atthi vedayitam

Thank you,
Wynn
