13. Contact (phassa) 6 sense objects 6 sense bases Contact Consciousness

14. Feeling(vedan) When the six sense objects impinge on the respective six sense bases, six classes of feeling are formed: • feeling born of eye-contact • feeling born of ear-contact • feeling born of nose-contact • feeling born of tongue- contact • feeling born of body-contact • feeling born of mind-contact “.. like a bubble, perishing immediately after it forms “
