How to Achieve Celibate Life?
Following methods are advised in Buddhism to establish celibate life:
Method1 : Avoid exposure
All that invokes non-celibacy in mind need to be avoided i.e. images, talk, touch etc.
Monks go to live in forest aloof in order to achieve this.
Method2 : View a person as skeleton
From: Dhammapada Verse 147 - Sirima Vatthu
By Viewing a person as a mass of bones, dispassion is generated.
Method3 : Look at teeth of laughing person
For a laughing person, look at teeth & consider these as bones only.
