Thig 5.4 PTS: Thig 82-86- Nanda: Nanda's Vision
"Sick, putrid, unclean: look, Nanda, at this physical heap. Through contemplation of the foul, develop your mind, make it one, well-centered.

As this (your body), so that. As that, so this. It gives off a foul stench, the delight of fools."

Considering it thus, untiring, both day & night, I, with my own discernment dissecting it, saw.

And as I, heedful, examined it aptly, <p style="text-align:center;">this body — as it actually is — <p style="text-align:center;">was seen inside & out.

<p style="text-align:center;">Then was I disenchanted with the body <p style="text-align:center;">& dispassionate within: <p style="text-align:center;">Heedful, detached, <p style="text-align:center;">calmed was I. <p style="text-align:center;">Unbound.
