Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: sensation

Senses:

  • Also commonly rendered as 'feeling' (Skt. vedanā; Tib. tshor ba). A primary biological response to external stimuli that is prior to perception, conceptualization, or volition. As sensation, the second of the five skandhas 五蘊. Also the seventh of the twelve links of dependent arising 十二因緣, in that context called 受支. One of the ten pervasive mental factors 大地法 presented in the Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya, and one of the five omnipresent mental factors 五遍行 presented in the Cheng weishi lun. It is understood to come about based on the confluence of the faculty of contact. [Charles Muller, Stephen Hodge, Florin Deleanu; source(s): Ui, Nakamura, Yokoi, Iwanami]
  • To experience (Skt. *√vid, *prati-saṃ-vid, anubhava; Tib. myong ba, myong bar 'gyur ba). To receive, or undergo, the results of good and evil actions. To experience karma (Skt. paribhoga; Tib. so sor myong ba). 〔二障義 HBJ 1.812a 〕 [Charles Muller, Stephen Hodge, YBh-Ind]
  • To accept; acceptance (Skt. samādāna; *praty-anu-bhū; *prati-grah; bzung ba; Tib. nyams su myong bar 'gyur ba, yang dag par len pa; *ud-grah; Tib. len pa). [Charles Muller; source(s): Stephen Hodge]
  • To restrain; restriction, fetters, yoke. [Charles Muller]
  • Clinging. In the Ekôttarikâgama 增壹阿含經, 受, rather than the usual 取, sometimes renders upādāna. E.g. 「然此四受由愛而生，由愛而長。成就此受」 (T 125.2.644b8–9) [Mike Running]
