Chapter of the Twos
Verses of the Elder Abhirūpanandā
“Nandā, see this body as diseased,
impure, and rotten.
Cultivate awareness of the unattractive
with a well-collected, one-pointed mind.
Develop objectless meditation;
give up the underlying tendency toward conceit.
Once you fully understand conceit,
you will walk in peace.”
Thus the Bhagavant often exhorts the trainee Abhirūpanandā with these verses.
