The Buddha taught that in every moment, whenever any of our senses make contact with the world, a feeling tone (vedanā) arises. Vedanā can be pleasant, unpleasant, or “neutral”. He emphasized that being mindful of vedanā is absolutely crucial in understanding how we create or amplify suffering and stress in our lives. Most of the time we are unaware of vedanā and can end up feeling a bit perplexed at how we end up in situations that cause us distress (again!).

In this course we will investigate our personal experience of vedanā and the importance of being mindful of it. We will explore the role vedanā plays in fueling craving and aversion, and the deeply ethical implications related to our views, biases, and motivations for harm that it fuels.
