Flesh to the Crows

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.
