Flesh to the Crows

The Firstborn

Contemplate the body
As a body.
Ardent, fully aware and mindful…
Having put away all grief for the world.

Aware…
Of breath, and of posture.
Aware…
Internally, externally.

Not clinging to anything in this world,
As this body too shall become… Flesh to the Crows.

Aware…
Of death and its nature.
Aware…
Internally and externally.

Contemplate the body
As a body.
Ardent, fully aware and mindful…
Having put away all grief for the world.

Aware…
Of the body's arising factors.
Aware…
Of the body's vanishing factors.
Aware…
Of the body's arising and vanishing factors.

Impermanent, in sati.
Suffering, in sati.
Independent, in sati.

Not clinging to anything in this world,
As this body too shall become… Flesh to the Crows.
