In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraA峁弓hika (啶呧啷嵿啶苦) in Pali refers to a 鈥渃orpse reduced to bone鈥� and represents the ninth and last of the 鈥渘ine horrible notions鈥� (补蝉耻产丑补蝉补帽帽腻), according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter 35. These nine notions of the horrible eliminate the seven types of lust (蝉补辫迟补惫颈诲丑补-谤腻驳补) in people. By means of the meditation on the nine notions [viz., A峁弓hika], the minds of lust (谤腻驳补) are eliminated, but hatred (诲惫别峁) and delusion (moha) are also decreased. These nine notions eventually lead to the enjoyment of the eternal bliss of Nirv膩峁嘺.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
