Thanks Stuka,

So, when the Buddha teaches "the cessation of contact is the cessation of feeling" he teaches not to cling when eye-form-consciousness meet? Not to cling is to cease "phasso"?

When it is a pleasant feeling I can understood not to cling, but when it is unpleasant, to what we cling then?
When we cling, we cling to that feeling as "mine" (or as "me", or a part of "me").

Buddhadasa wrote of practise as "mindfulness at phasso, and barring that, at craving, at clinging, etc. The point being that one should strive to catch and correct oneself at some point in the process, and the earlier on that one does so, the better. Ill try and dig up a link to that . I know some of his works are also translated into Spanish, too, did you know?
