4. Yànimàni apatthàni
alàpun' eva sàrade
Kàpotakàni aññhãni
tàni disvàna kà rati 149.
WHAT DELIGHT IN SEEING WHITE BONES?
4. Like gourds cast away in autumn are these dove-hued bones. What pleasure is there in looking at them? 149.
Story
Many monks went to a cemetery to meditate. Lust arose in them while meditating on fresh corpses. Thereupon the Buddha uttered this verse in admonition.

The Buddha on Rebirth
By Bhante Shravasti Dhammika
The first Buddhists regarded life (jiva) as a process of consciousness moving through a succession of bodies, death being only a momentary event to this process. This phenomenon is sometimes called ‘moving from womb to womb’ (Sn.278) or more precisely, rebirth (punabbhava, D.II,15). Later Buddhist thinkers explained rebirth in complex and minute detail – death-proximate kamma (marana samma kamma), last though moment (cuti citta), relinking (patisandhi), the underlying stream of existence (bhavanga sota), etc. Interestingly, none of this was mentioned by the Buddha, much of it is not even to be found in the Abhidhamma Pitaka. It is the product of speculation dating from the early centuries CE onward. This is not to say that such concepts are valueless, but it is important to distinguish between early, late and very late Dhamma concepts.

5. Aññhãnam nagaram katam
mamsalohitalepanam
Yattha jarà ca maccu ca
màno makkho ca ohito. 150.
THIS BODY IS COMPOSED OF FLESH AND BLOOD
5. Of bones is (this) city made, plastered with flesh and blood. Herein are stored decay, death, conceit, and detraction. 150.
Story
A beautiful woman became a nun but lacked faith. Fearing that the Buddha would speak depreciatingly of her beauty, she would not visit the Buddha. One day when she came to the preaching hall with the others, the Buddha conjured the vision of a beautiful woman fanning Him. The Buddha then caused the vision to change gradually, reflecting the ravages wrought by old age and death. The Truth dawned upon the woman. Thereupon the Buddha uttered this verse.

From Topsy-turveydom to Wisdom (Volume 1 and 2)
By Bhikkhu Katukurunde Nanananda
This is the collection of essays to appear under the noscript 'From Topsy-turvydom to Wisdom'. The essays are addressed to those who are attracted by the 'come–and–see' (ehipassiko)quality of the Dhamma having become 'wiser' about the 'topsy- turvy' world they find themselves in. The main trend of the essays is towards that 'leading–onward' (opaniyiko) quality of the Dhamma, highlighting the intensely practical spirit of the Buddha's message to the world.
