Vedanā

Feeling: the pleasant, painful or neutral tone of every experience.

Also: Vedana, feeling

Early Buddhism and the Theravāda

Vedanā is the second aggregate and the second foundation of mindfulness: the affective tone that accompanies every contact of sense and object. In dependent origination, feeling conditions craving; mindfulness of feeling allows that link to be broken.
