CONTEMPLATE THE BODY AS IMPURE
Caller: Master Lu, please enlighten us on the various methods of meditation that can help us to effectively calm our mind. Thank you.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Meditation methods include counting of breaths. The other method is “Contemplation of the Body as Impure”. The world that we live in is impure and so are we. This method of contemplation is especially effective for those who are battling lustful thoughts in their mind – where you contemplate the filthiness of the skin, flesh, and all those dirtiest parts of the human body, do you understand?
No matter how beautiful a girl may look, think about her nostrils, how filthy is that?! Think about the earwax, discharge from the eyes, and stinky breath … No matter how handsome a guy may appear, think about how dirty the nostrils and mouth are! This is what “Contemplation of the Body as Impure” works. This contemplation is to deter you from giving in to your sexual desires. In fact, the only difference between humans and animals is that animals don’t wear clothes, while humans do. But if your behaviour is like the animals, doesn’t that make you an animal too?
