Friends:
When noting the transience of an object
When realizing the inherent misery of an object
When comprehending the impersonality of an object
Equanimity takes its stance
Gladness springs up in him
When he is glad happiness emerges
When his mind is happy his body grows calm
When his body is calm he feels pleasure
When feeling pleasure his mind becomes concentrated
When concentrated he sees is as it really develops
When realizing how it really becomes, he is disgusted
When so disgusted his greed gradually & naturally fades away
With the final elimination of all craving is he released.
Yeah Aaahhh!!!

A saying of the Buddha from
http://metta.lk/
He who delights in subduing (evil) thoughts, who meditates on "the
loathsomeness" (of the body), who is ever mindful, - it is he who will make
an end (of craving). He will sever Mara's bond.
