SN48.40 — Uppaṭipāṭikasutta
Disciples, there are these five faculties.
What five?
The faculty of pain, the faculty of displeasure, the faculty of pleasure, the faculty of happiness, and the faculty of equanimity.
Here a disciple who is diligent, ardent, and resolute experiences the faculty of pain.
He understands thus:
This faculty of pain has arisen in me; it is conditioned, arisen from a cause, subject to destruction, and dependent on conditions.
It is impossible for this faculty of pain to arise without a cause, without a condition, without a basis, and without dependence on conditions.
He understands the faculty of pain, its origin, its cessation, and the path leading to its cessation.
Where does the arisen faculty of pain cease without remainder?
Here a disciple, secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome states, enters and dwells in the first jhāna, which is accompanied by applied and sustained thought, with rapture and pleasure born of seclusion.
It is here that the arisen faculty of pain ceases without remainder.
This is called a disciple who has understood the cessation of the faculty of pain and directs his mind accordingly.
Here a disciple who is diligent, ardent, and resolute experiences the faculty of displeasure.
He understands thus:
This faculty of displeasure has arisen in me; it is conditioned, arisen from a cause, subject to destruction, and dependent on conditions.
It is impossible for this faculty of displeasure to arise without a cause, without a condition, without a basis, and without dependence on conditions.
He understands the faculty of displeasure, its origin, its cessation, and the path leading to its cessation.
Where does the arisen faculty of displeasure cease without remainder?
Here a disciple, with the subsiding of applied and sustained thought, with inner tranquility and unification of mind, without applied and sustained thought, with rapture and pleasure born of concentration, enters and dwells in the second jhāna.
It is here that the arisen faculty of displeasure ceases without remainder.

He understands the faculty of pleasure, its origin, its cessation, and the path leading to its cessation.

It is here that the arisen faculty of pleasure ceases without remainder.
This is called a disciple who has understood the cessation of the faculty of pleasure and directs his mind accordingly.

Here a disciple, having completely transcended the base of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, enters and dwells in the cessation of perception and feeling.
It is here that the arisen faculty of equanimity ceases without remainder.
