Hello

On Page Seventy-Six, Sayadaw moves on to the other color kasinas as follows;
brown, blue and black using head hairs, yellow on fat or urine, red on blood and grossly on.  When these are developed, then one can use the meditation on flowers or other external objects. 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.

High Lonesome

And on Page Seventy-Five, Sayadaw suggests expanding that white kasina even further to all ten directions until 'all you see is white.'

From the Buddha (Anguttara Nikaya):
"Monks, there are the ten kasina devices (for concentration). What are the ten? Someone perceives the earth kasina, above, below, on all sides, undivided, unbounded; another person perceives the water kasina... the fire kasina... the wind kasina... the blue... yellow... white... red kasina... the space kasina... the consciousness kasina, above, below, on all sides, undivided, unbounded. These are the ten kasina devices. Among these ten, this is the highest — when one perceives the consciousness kasina above, below... unbounded. There are, indeed, monks, such persons who perceive in that way. But even for persons who thus perceive, change takes place, transformation takes place.
"When seeing this, monks, a well-taught noble disciple is repelled by it; being repelled, he becomes disenchanted about the highest, not to speak of what is low.

So White

On Page Seventy-Four, more on the white kasina skeleton meditation.  Sayadaw says to use the fourth jhana breath meditation powers to stay with the white kasina for two hours.  Gee whiz, meditating for 25 minutes will just never do.

White Out

And after one has fully developed jhana on the skeleton, then ok to go, on Page Seventy Three, to Kasina meditation.  He suggests using the colors blue, yellow, red and white, beginning with white and, reestablishing jhana, concentrate on the white parts of the skeleton.  Soon, Sayadaw introduces other parts of the body for the other colors. Again, ew.

Steal Your Face

While most of this book is taken from the Vissudhimagga of Buddhagossa (Sri Lanka 430AD), a lot of this section here refers from the Abhidhamma, the third 'basket' of the Tipitaka, the three 'baskets' of Buddhist teachings.  Attributed to the Buddha, it was written down around 250 BC.

Here we are practicing skeleton meditation (in all ten directions) until 'all you see is skeletons.'

That is cool.

Another Kind of Freedom

On Page Seventy-One, Sayadaw explains how joy and happiness can arise with the repulsiveness of the skeleton as an object:

A question arises: ‘How can joy and happiness

arise with the repulsiveness of the skeleton as object?’

The answer is that, although you are concentrating

on the repulsiveness of the skeleton, you have under

-

taken this meditation because you have understood the

benefits of it, and understand that it will help you to

eventually attain freedom from ageing, sickness, and

death. Joy and happiness can arise also because you

have removed the defilements of the five hindrances,

which make the mind hot and tired.

It is just like a scavenger would be delighted to

see a big heap of garbage, thinking, ‘I will earn a lot of

money from this.’ Or like a person who is severely ill

would be happy and joyful when relieved by vomiting

or having diarrhoea. 

Oh yeah.. Whew

There's That

On Page Seventy, Sayadaw reveals that the Buddha, in the Mahasatipattana Sutta taught three entrances to Nirvana, as 1) Color Kasinas meditation, 2) Repulsiveness meditation, and 3) Voidness of self (the 32 parts meditation). 

He starts with repulsiveness meditation, and says that one can use the 32 parts, or any part and he uses skeleton meditation as an example.

I think I get the basic idea.  I do at times resist repulsiveness awareness, choosing to rest in some belief of eternal beauty and health.  But repulsiveness awareness, I believe, is not to say that there is only decay, more so to bring awareness to delusion.

The heavy metal dudes know.
