Contact as a Contemplation

When contemplating dependent co-arising, we are instructed to notice the feeling tone of any contact. Is it pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral? We can choose to respond with craving or aversion, creating more dukkha in the process, or respond with insight and equanimity, and not grasp at the source of sensation, nor push it away. The Buddha reveals that “For those who have fully understood contact, who, having known it, delight in peace (Nibbana).”
