Cara meditasi BUDHIST

Asubha-kammatthana (or Asubha-bhavana)

The meaning and the purpose:

Asubha means un-beauty. Kammatthana means meditation exercise. So Asubha-Kammatthana means meditation exercise by using unloveliness of body as the object of meditation. Concentrate on the temperament of that there is nothing beautiful, there is only dirtiness and disgust in and of the body.

The power of Asubha-kammatthana:

To one who thinks thus of the unlovely (nature of the body), the greed connected with living beings is cast out. During the 30 minutes of asubha-bhavana (contemplation of the body's foulness), lust has simply dropped out. If you now return to your routine life, the tendency developed during your practice will produce an after-effect which will grow more and more beneficial in proportion to the intensity and duration of the practice. Gradually, with strengthened mindfulness (sati), that noble tendency will permeate almost whole thought-process, always ready to step in with its beneficial effect whenever Mara (like bad thought) wishes to intrude.

Ten Kinds of Foulness (asubha):

1. Uddhumataka- the bloated corpse counteracting delight in beauty of proportions.
