The Discourse on One Observing Foulness
85.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"Monks, dwell observing foulness in the body; and let mindfulness of breathing be well established internally in front of you; dwell observing impermanence in all activities. For those dwelling observing foulness in the body, monks, whatever underlying tendency to lust regarding the element of beauty, that is abandoned. When mindfulness of breathing is well established internally in front, whatever external applied thoughts dwelling in tendencies that are conducive to vexation, they do not exist. For those dwelling observing impermanence in all activities, whatever ignorance there is, that is abandoned; whatever true knowledge there is, that arises." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
Seeing the stilling of all activities, ardent always.
Peaceful, accomplished through direct knowledge, he indeed is a sage who has gone beyond the bonds."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The sixth.
