Vedanā
It is clear from the words of the Buddha that vedanā is one of the four aggregates of mind (saññā, sankhāra and viññāna being the other three) and that it plays a vital role in liberation from misery.
The Buddha gave importance to the vedanā that one feels on the body.
The vedanā that one feels on the body is experienced by the vedanā khandha (feeling aggregate) of nāma, rather, it is the vedanā khandha of nāma.
Rūpa (matter) in itself cannot experience sensations arising on it.
🌷 For the meditation of liberation from misery, bodily sensations are important.
This does not mean that mental feeling (somanassa and domanassa) is to be ignored; it continues simultaneously.
