The Discourse on the Boil
15.
"Just as, monks, a boil many years old.
That boil would have nine wound openings, nine openings not made by breaking.
From that, whatever would ooze forth -
only impurity would ooze forth, only bad smell would ooze forth, only what is loathsome would ooze forth;
whatever it would produce -
only impurity would it produce, only bad smell would it produce, only what is loathsome would it produce.
'Boil', monks, this is a designation for this body made of the four primary elements, originating from mother and father, built up from cooked rice and food made with flour, subject to impermanence, to rubbing, massaging, breaking up and destruction. That boil would have nine wound openings, nine openings not made by breaking. From that, whatever oozes forth - only impurity oozes forth, only bad smell oozes forth, only what is loathsome oozes forth; whatever it produces - only impurity it produces, only bad smell it produces, only what is loathsome it produces. Therefore, monks, become disenchanted with this body." The fifth.
