English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park (Jetavana Anathapindika-arama) in Shravasti (Savatthi). The Buddha said, 'O Bhikkhus!' The Bhikkhus, receiving the teaching, listened attentively to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'O Bhikkhus! If, in the snap of a finger, one contemplates the thought of death, mindful that all embodied beings are subject to death, this is diligent practice of meditation, in accordance with the Buddha's teachings, and not foolishly consuming the alms of the country. How much more so for those who practice extensively! To put it briefly, if one contemplates the impurity of the body, the loathsomeness of food, the absence of joy in all the world, impermanence, impermanence as suffering, suffering as not-self, not-self as emptiness, abandonment, the rejection of lust, cessation, non-self; contemplating the body after death being eaten by worms, blood flowing, bloating, turning blue and decaying, putrefying and stinking, hair falling out and flesh consumed, all bonds released, bones scattered, bones turning red, white, withered, and black, like the color of a dove, bones decaying into ashes, the thought that there is no refuge in the world, the thought that there is no permanence in the world, the thought that the world is subject to separation, the thought that the world is dark, the thought that the world is difficult to endure, the thought that the world is wasteful and useless, the thought that the world is full of calamities and changes, causing aversion, the thought that all the world returns to Nirvana (Nibbana).' 'O Bhikkhus, if in the snap of a finger one contemplates these thoughts, all are diligent practice, all are upholding the Buddha's teachings, and not foolishly consuming the alms of the people, how much more so for those who can practice extensively! Therefore, one should contemplate the practice of Dharma-thoughts.' Having spoken thus, the Buddha, they all rejoiced and received it.
