釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 4.38

4.38

一、明治外貪欲多者，病發從著外境男女容色、姿態、語言、威儀、細滑等相，是故婬火熾然不息。對治之法，應教作九想觀，若至塚間取死屍相，亦當諦觀可愛之境，躃著地上，觀見死屍胮脹、爛壞、膿血流出、大小便利、諸蟲唼食。今我著者亦復如是，何處可愛？作是觀已，婬心自息，是故九想能治愛著外境貪婬重病。

First, explaining the treatment for those with excessive external greed and desire: the arising of the disease comes from attachment to external objects—the complexion, demeanor, speech, deportment, smoothness, and other marks of men and women; therefore, the fire of lust blazes without ceasing. As for the method of counteraction, one should teach the practice of the contemplation of the nine notions: whether going to a charnel ground to take the marks of a corpse, or carefully contemplating an attractive object falling flat upon the ground, viewing the corpse bloated, rotting and decaying, pus and blood flowing forth, excrement and urine, and various worms feeding upon it. 'That which I now grasp is also like this; where is there anything to love?' Having made this contemplation, the lustful mind naturally subsides; therefore, the nine notions can cure the severe disease of lustful attachment to external objects.
