Vedana - Sensation - one of the five aggregates (स्कन्ध Skandhas) in Buddhism, refers to the sensations or feelings that arise from contact with physical and mental stimuli. These sensations can be pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. Vedana plays a crucial role in the formation of our experiences and responses to the world. By understanding Vedana and observing how sensations influence our thoughts and actions, practitioners can develop greater mindfulness and detachment, which are essential for reducing suffering and progressing on the path to enlightenment.
