The practitioner further contemplates the corpse when its skin, flesh, and the like are already exhausted, and sees only white bones. There are two kinds of seeing the bones: first, seeing the tendons still joined together; second, the tendons exhausted and the bones separated. There are again two kinds: first, contaminated by residual blood, grease, and grime; second, bones white like cornelian or conch shell. As for the person I loved, contemplating them in this way, the skull is terrifying, the mark of hardness is worse than tiles or stone, and soft, smooth touch is suddenly all lost. I reflect to myself: 'My own body cannot avoid this phenomenon.' With single-minded samādhi, one eliminates worldly greed and love. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.9.25) - [Next: 9.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.9.27) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.9.26) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.9.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.9.26) · Pramāṇa
