Hello

On Page Seventy-Six, Sayadaw moves on to the other color kasinas as follows;

He says poetically, All yellow flowers are calling out, inviting  you to develop the yellow kasina. 

He states that in the Pali texts, the Buddha taught ten kasinas, the four colors and the six of earth, water, fire, wind, space and light.

I am glad to be moving on from the colors of the body found in the most disgusting and scary parts.
