The Transparency of Pleasure and Pain

A woman asks for a clarification about, ‘Who is discriminating the feelings of pleasure and pain?’ Rupert suggests that pain is not an egoic experience. If the Buddha had an abscess, he would experience pain. Who is experiencing that? The one who experiences: consciousness. However, if you go deeply into the sensation, pleasure and pain aren't inherent in the sensation. If we stay with it, it becomes transparent. The conceptual layers we add to experience fall away.
