The Cemetary Contemplations

Today we work with a practice in the First Foundation of Mindfulness, mindfulness of body. This meditation is traditionally called the cemetery contemplations and is colloquially referred to as a death meditation. This is a practice in recognizing the reality of the body, that it is of the nature to decay. As with other practices with the Four Foundations, we are investigating the Three Marks of Existence.

This is a deeply fascinating meditation

Excellent. Enough Space. Nice.

Great meditation. Especially since both this app and the West in general tend to focus on fluffy feel good practices and avoid ones that actually explore the true nature of reality. I searched for 'asubha' in this app and got no results. Though I do get why siting by oneself contemplating death isn't gonna catch on! 😱

A very transcendent practice

Lots of quiet time to reflect. It struck a nice balance. Thank you for this
