A Meditation on Ugliness | Ajahn Amaro

In this video, Ajahn Amaro explores patikulamanasikara, a practice that involves reflecting on the unattractive or unappealing aspects of the human body, looking at its benefits and dangers. Ajahn Amaro highlights that patikulamanasikara is not about rejecting or condemning the body, and the purpose of this practice is to counteract the exaggerated desire and attachment that often lead to suffering, and to cultivate a sense of equanimity towards all experiences.
