Sallatha Sutta says: "Now, the well-instructed disciple of the noble ones, when touched with a feeling of pain, does not sorrow, grieve, or lament, does not beat his breast or become distraught. **So he feels one pain: physical, but not mental.** But according to SN 41.6 With Kāmabhū (On the Cessation of Perception & Feeling) : > Perceptions & feelings are mental; Do you think the use of the physical-mental dichotomy is misleading for those familiar with SN41.6? Or make us think about anything in particular? It just seems like if you cross the two discourses the problem arises...
