2.48

Nineteenth: regarding "What is the woman mind? It means according with the dharma of desire": this is also a mind of the human destiny, differing only in having much desire. As the sūtras say: "Women have much desire, a hundred times that of men, constantly dwelling on pleasurable experiences they have undergone, or imagining others' forms, complexions, and postures." This can obstruct the practitioner's pure mind. It is also because of having been a woman in many past lives that the original habit still remains. In this, contemplating the dharmatā of the body through the mindfulness of impurity and the like is its antidote.
