Khuddaka Nikaya- Suththanipatha Pali- Uraga Waggaya
Remember, this Sutra emphasises the importance of getting rid of the ego by wisely understanding the true nature of the body.
Understand that every posture of this body, whether walking, standing, sitting, lying down, bending, or unfolding, is the movements of that body.
The true form of this body cannot be seen because the fleshy part formed by a collection of bones and veins are covered by a membrane called skin.
Pancreas, stomach, liver, Bladder, heart, breast, kidneys, intestines, and other organs, as well as blood and fleshy parts
In addition, the snot, saliva, sweat, oil, blood, pus, and phlegm in that body that is suppressing it,
The excrement that always flows and drains from the nine doors, such as sleep-crust from eyes and ear wax from ears,
Snot from the nose, bile, phlegm, and occasionally vomit from the mouth, sweat and filth draining from the body on a regular basis, etc.,
as well as the head, which has a hollow cavity filled with the brain also fills this body. A fool, blinded by ignorance, sees the body full of excrement as prosperous.
One day, when he dies, his swollen and blue body is taken to the grave by relatives and thrown away without any expectation.
Dogs, cats, wolves, worms, crows, vultures, and other animals eat his body there.
The monk who carefully listens to the Buddha’s teachings and gains wisdom understands this by wisely seeing the true nature of the body.
He realises that the body is full of excrement that pours out of nine doors.
He comprehends how this body will eventually become food for various animals by recalling that his relatives will throw it to a cemetery because it cannot be used for any purpose after he dies.
This wise one eliminates the lust for his body by learning more about the true nature of the body by wisely looking at his own and others’ bodies and wisely contemplating.
The monk who did not cling to the sensual pleasure by cultivating the wisdom is able to attain the ‘Nirwana’, which ceases the rebirth.
Contemplating the nature of the body with two legs and full of excrement that spreads a stench from place to place due to the many unpleasant parts, the wise man realises that humiliating others by grasping such a body arrogantly as ‘I’ is nothing but ‘foolishness’.
