Drop of Dhamma Delight!

Friends:

The Ten Contemplations is Daily Buddhist Routine!

The Blessed Buddha once said:
Any Bhikkhu contemplates this body from the soles of the feet
upward, and from the top of the hair downward, as a disgusting
frame with a skin stretched over it, filled with many impurities:
This body consists of head-hairs, body-hairs, nails, teeth, skin,
flesh, sinews, bones, marrow, kidneys, bile, lymph, pus, blood,
sweat, fat, tears, tallow, spittle, snot, joint fluid, and urine.
Just as if a sack with openings at both ends were full of many
various kinds of grain: Wheat, rice, mung beans, kidney beans,
sesame seeds, husked rice and a man with good eyesight, pouring
it out, were to reflect: This is wheat. This is rice. These are mung
beans. These are kidney beans. These are sesame seeds. This is
husked rice, in exactly the same way, monks, a monk reflects on
this very body upward from the soles of the feet, & downward
from the hair-tips of the head...
