Mary Roach Quote
There is a passage in the Buddhist Sutra on Mindfulness called the Nine Cemetery Contemplations. Apprentice monks are instructed to meditate on a series of decomposing bodies in the charnel ground, starting with a body swollen and blue and festering, progressing to one being eaten by…different kinds of worms, and moving on to a skeleton, without flesh and blood, held together by the tendons. The monks were told to keep meditating until they were calm and a smile appeared on their faces.
