Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

Three Gems, one is aware of the human body, which is
threatened by other people, by demons, and by desires.
One seeks the Buddha-body, which is quite free.
2. Impermanence Meditation
When one is taught the Hinayana doctrines, one
develops a fear of the impermanence of the body, which
will die at an unknown time and in an uncertain manner.
The time may be today or tomorrow; the manner may be
by disease or murder. Thus one seeks only the
Buddha-body, which has neither birth nor death.
3. Corpse Meditations
The nine corpse meditations, described in Chapter VIII
above, should be practiced with tears in one's eyes. One
who has practiced them thoroughly will not love the
human body any more, but will seek only a
Buddha-body.
4. Impurity Meditations
One should also meditate on the thirty-six impurities of
the body, and love neither one's own body nor that of a
member of the opposite sex, despite its beauty. Instead,
one seeks the pure body of a Buddha.
