Body as not-self

10/9/2018

 
“Is it really necessary for liberation to see the body as unattractive?” The answer is that it isn’t, what is necessary strictly speaking is to see the body as not-self (or anattā), however many times it is necessary to see its unattractive aspect (asubha) at least momentarily for this to happen. The reason for this is that attraction leads to identification.
