Furthermore, there are five kinds: First, observing oneself that one's body of the five aggregates and four great elements can give rise to immeasurable evil karma, and desiring to renounce it. Second, observing oneself that the nine apertures of one's body constantly discharge foul, putrid impurities, and giving rise to disgust and revulsion. Third, observing oneself that one's body has immeasurable afflictions of greed, anger, and ignorance burning the wholesome mind, and desiring to extinguish them. Fourth, observing oneself that one's body is like a bubble or foam, arising and perishing moment to moment and being a dharma that should be abandoned, desiring to discard it. Fifth, observing oneself that, covered by ignorance, one constantly creates evil karma and transmigrates through the five destinies without benefit, and seeking the most supreme fruit, one arouses bodhicitta.
