8.17

「時諸女人聞此語已,心懷慚愧懊憹躄地,舉手拍頭而作是言:『嗚呼惡欲,乃令諸佛說如此事,我等懷惡心著穢欲不知為患,乃令諸佛聞如此弊,猶如盛火焚燒我等!』說是語時,見虛空中一切化佛,廣為諸女說不淨觀,所謂:九想、十想、三十想、數息安般。諸女聞說不淨觀,法樂禪定樂,不樂愛欲。

"Then, having heard these words, the women felt shame and remorse, threw themselves on the ground, beat their heads with their hands, and said: 'Alas! How evil is desire, that it causes the Buddhas to speak of such matters! We harbored evil minds and clung to foul desires, unaware of their perils, thereby causing the Buddhas to hear of such depravities. It is as if a raging fire is burning us!' While they were saying these words, they saw all the transformation Buddhas in the empty sky broadly expounding the contemplation of impurity for the women—namely: the nine contemplations, the ten contemplations, the thirty contemplations, and the counting of breaths in ānāpāna. Hearing the contemplation of impurity expounded, the women took joy in the Dharma and joy in dhyāna, no longer taking joy in sensual craving.
