349-350*350:

For a person
    forced on by his thinking,
    fierce in his passion,
    focused on beauty,
craving grows all the more.
He's the one
    who tightens the bond.
But one who delights
    in the stilling of thinking,
always     mindful
            cultivating
    a focus on the foul:
He's the one
    who will make an end,
the one who will cut Mara's bond.

 




350: "A focus on the foul": A meditative exercise in focusing on the foul parts of the body so as to help undercut lust and attachment for the body.
