Antidotes

I keep on looking this up, so I'm gonna post it here. This is from page 100 of The Island, essays on Nibbana.

5.17) “Contemplation of unattractiveness of the body should be

cultivated for the overcoming of sexual desire; loving-kindness should be

cultivated for the overcoming of ill will; mindfulness of breathing should

be cultivated for the cutting off of discursive thinking; contemplation of

impermanence should be cultivated for the dispelling of the conceit ‘I

am’ (asmi-māna). For when one perceives impermanence, Meghiya, the

perception of not-self is established. With the perception of not-self, the

conceit ‘I am’ is eliminated, and that is Nibbāna here and now.”

~ Ud 4.1, A 9.3

5.18) “Seclusion is happiness for one content,

who knows the Dhamma, who has seen;

“Friendship with the world is happiness

for those restrained toward all beings;

“Dispassion amidst the world is happiness

for those who have let go of sense desires;

“But the end of the conceit ‘I am’ –

that’s the greatest happiness of all.”

~ Ud 2.1
