How is craving the practice that leads to the origin of feeling?

SN 36.23 translated by Bhikkhu Sujato says: > Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, > and said to him: > > Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā > bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so > bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: > > “Sir, what is feeling? What’s the origin of feeling? What’s the > practice that leads to the origin of feeling? > > “katamā nu kho, bhante, vedanā, katamo vedanāsamudayo, katamā > vedanāsamudayagāminī paṭipadā? > > What’s the cessation of feeling? What’s the practice that leads to the > cessation of feeling? > > Katamo vedanānirodho, katamā vedanānirodhagāminī paṭipadā? > > And what is feeling’s gratification, drawback, and escape?” > > Ko vedanāya assādo, ko ādīnavo, kiṃ nissaraṇan”ti? > > “Mendicant, there are these three feelings: > > “Tisso imā, bhikkhu, vedanā— > > pleasant, painful, and neutral. > > sukhā vedanā, dukkhā vedanā, adukkhamasukhā vedanā. > > These are called feeling. > > Imā vuccanti, bhikkhu, vedanā. > > **Feeling originates from contact.** > > Phassasamudayā vedanāsamudayo. > > **Craving is the practice that leads to the origin of feeling.** > > Taṇhā vedanāsamudayagāminī paṭipadā. > > When contact ceases, feeling ceases. > > Phassanirodhā vedanānirodho. > > The practice that leads to the cessation of feelings is simply this > noble eightfold path, that is: > > Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo vedanānirodhagāminī paṭipadā, > seyyathidaṃ— > > right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right > livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. > > sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. > > The pleasure and happiness that arise from feeling: this is its > gratification. > > Yaṃ vedanaṃ paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṃ somanassaṃ, ayaṃ vedanāya assādo; > > That feeling is impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is its > drawback. > > yaṃ vedanā aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā, ayaṃ vedanāya ādīnavo; > > Removing and giving up desire and greed for feeling: this is its > escape.” > > yo vedanāya chandarāgavinayo chandarāgappahānaṃ, idaṃ vedanāya > nissaraṇan”ti. Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation is more accurate, here: > There are, bhikkhu, these three feelings: pleasant feeling, painful > feeling, neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. This is called feeling. > **With the arising of contact there is the arising of feeling. Craving > is the way leading to the origination of feeling.** With the cessation > of contact there is the cessation of feeling. This Noble Eightfold > Path is the way leading to the cessation of feeling; that is, right > view … right concentration. In the above sutta and often elsewhere, it is said" *"With the arising of contact there is the arising of feeling*". Also, other suttas say: "*With the arising of feeling there is the arising of craving*". This being so, how is craving the practice that leads to the origin of feeling?
