“Monks, these five things, when developed and cultivated, lead to the destruction of the defilements. What five? Here, monks, a monk dwells contemplating foulness in the body, with the perception of disgust for food, with the perception of non-delight in the entire world, contemplating impermanence in all formations, and the perception of death is well established within him. These five things, monks, when developed and cultivated, lead to the destruction of the defilements.”

The Blessed One:
“Seeing craving, aversion, and lust,
There is no desire for sexual intercourse.
What is this, so full of urine and feces?
I would not wish even to touch it with my foot.”

“I do not see any other thing, monks, through which unarisen wholesome states arise and arisen unwholesome states decline, as fewness of wishes. For one with few wishes, monks, unarisen wholesome states arise and arisen unwholesome states decline.”

“Dependent on attachment, this suffering arises. By the complete destruction of all attachments, suffering does not come to be.

See the world with its multitude,
Overcome by ignorance,
Beings given to birth,
Delighting in becoming,
Not freed from existence.

For one who burns up existence,
At all times and places,
All this existence —
Impermanent, suffering, subject to change —

Seeing this as it really is
With perfect wisdom,
Craving for existence is abandoned,
As is the delight in non-existence.

With the complete destruction of craving,
Dispassion, cessation, complete,
That is Nibbāna.
That monk, cooled,
Without clinging to renewed existence,
Has conquered Māra,
Won the battle,
Crossed over all forms of existence.”

“Here, venerable sir, a person has no stain but does not truly know: ‘There is no stain in me.’ For such a person, it can be expected: ‘He will attend to the sign of the beautiful. By attending to the sign of the beautiful, greed will pollute his mind. He will die with greed, with ill-will, with delusion, with stain, his mind polluted.’ Venerable sir, just as a bronze bowl brought from the market or from the smithy, clean and pure, and the owner does not use it, does not wipe it, and throws it into a dusty place – that bowl, after a time, becomes more defiled and dustier.”

Who has crossed this mud,
Crushed the thorn of sensuality,
Attained the destruction of delusion —
Such a monk,
Does not feel pleasure or pain!

Though warned by the divine messengers,
Young men remain heedless,
They sorrow for a long time,
Born in a low state.
But the true person here,
Warned by the divine messengers,
Is never heedless
In the noble Dhamma.
Seeing fear in clinging,
In birth and death,
Released from clinging,
Birth and death are ended.
Attaining security and bliss,
Here and now fully extinguished,
All enmity and fear —
They have overcome all.
All pain and sorrow —
All are transcended.

From: Majjhima Nikāya 130 – Devadūtasutta
