Friends:
Establishing the Awareness of Body as Body!
How, Friends, does one view any Body only as a Form?
Herein, Bhikkhus & Friends, the Bhikkhu contemplates the body
from the soles of the feet upward, and from the top of the hair
downward: This filthy frame with skin stretched over it, which is
filled with many impurities consists of head-hairs, body-hairs, nails,
teeth, skin, flesh, sinews, bones, marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, vomit
diaphragm, spleen, lungs, intestine, membrane, stomach, excrement,
brain, bile, lymph, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, skin, tallow, spit,
snot, joint-fluid, and urine. Just as if a man with good sight would
examine a sack with openings at both ends, filled with various kinds
of grain; paddy, beans, sesame, on opening it would recognize its
contents thus: That is paddy, this is beans, that is sesame, this is
husked rice: Exactly so does the Bhikkhu investigate this body...
While always thus aware & clearly comprehending, & thus removing
any lust, urge, envy, frustration & discontent rooted in this world,
the intelligent Bhikkhu keeps contemplating & regarding any & all
Body as an remote carcass of filthy foul form. As something bound
to emerge, decay & vanish... Not as mine, belonging to me or my self!
Not as lasting, stable & safe! Not as pleasant beauty or happiness!
In this way the intelligent Bhikkhu keeps reviewing any & all body
whether internal or external and he notes the cause of its arising
and the cause of its ceasing, or he just know: There is this body!
In this way he comes to live not clinging to & independent of body!
This is the way to contemplate the body only as a transient shell...

The reward is Fearlessness of Death & thereby Fearlessness of All!
Without fear there is the mental elevation of gladness and free joy!
It detaches and relinquishes from body & form and frees thereby...
Clever Disgust by Anti-Porn cooling all lust and greed for body!
