4. The notion of purulent rotting: The practitioner contemplates the corpse soaked by wind, heat, and moisture; as days gradually pass, worms and pus flow out from the nine apertures of the body, flesh and skin rotting with pus everywhere, pouring onto the ground, the foul stench increasing further. Contemplating the one I love with this, [formerly with] fine looks and fair countenance, I was bewildered for this. Now seeing it rotting and stinking, worse than excrement, how could it be craved? One reflects on oneself: 'My body has not escaped this dharma.' With one-pointed samādhi, one eliminates worldly covetous love.
