Meditation on Disgusting Objects Dispels Lust!
The Blessed
Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus & friends: If seeing a corpse thrown into the grave,
which
is one, two, or three days dead, swollen, bloated, bluish-black, full
of filth; one should draw this conclusion regarding one's own body:
This body too has this nature, has this destiny, & cannot escape it!
If one should see a corpse thrown to the burial ground, gnawed
and
partly eaten by crows, hawks, vultures, dogs or jackals, & creeping
with all kinds of worms & maggots; one should draw this conclusion
regarding own body: This body too has this nature, will also become
exactly like that, & cannot ever escape it!
If one should see a chain
of bones, flesh hanging from it, splattered with blood, held together
by the sinews... or bones disconnected & scattered in all directions,
here a hand-bone, there a foot-bone; here the pelvis, the spine, the
skull.... or bones, now bleached, pale white & looking like sea-shells...
or black rotting bones finally crumbling into dust; One should think:
This body too has this nature, has this destiny, & cannot escape it!
