Abstract

The objectives of this Article that: human body it is like the nine characteristics of the necropolis that appear in the Kāyānupassanā- satipaṭṭhāna. Considering the ugliness of the body is in control of consciousness. The Buddha taught to look at this body one by one, look at the living body, and then look at the inanimate body as it is. In each consideration, consider the inner body (our self), and then consider the outer body (others). Finally, consider both the inner body and the outer body at the same time. It is very difficult to see a normal person's body as a corpse in reality but he taught to consider it side by side because everyone has seen some corpses. Therefore, consider accordingly by the method of Kāyānupassanā recorded in the Buddhist scriptures.
