Necrophilliac monk: "Sir, I am afraid I may be attracted to your wife." Councillor: "That is fine, just imagine her as a corpse." Necrophilliac monk: "Sir, that is not helping. At all."

The paintings are a lot more… detailed than I thought they’d be. Yeesh.

“Meditated over a decaying body” … sounds like they just forced trauma onto themselves in order to avoid a boner 😂😭

I love how that councillor was fully happy to let this monk slam his wife. Even sent her there himself. Mad lad. He was probably into it

One of the Orthodox monasteries at Mount Athos has a room full with the skulls of monks who passed away. Whenever a practicing brother has doubts or feels earthly temptations, they go there to meditate and pray. The room serves as a "memento mori".

That story about a governor and his wife reminds me of how in the epic of Gilgamesh Gilgamesh kept Enkidu's body unburied because of their strong friendship. Eventually he saw flies emerging from Enkidu's nose and that's when both his own mortality and the need for giving Enkidu a burial really hit him.

When you're using a snake as a fleshlight, that's how you know you're down bad.

I wonder if the death meditations could have been used for dating (not like that) a corpse for murder investigations? "How long ago did she die?" "At least eight hours, as can be told by the impurities pooling in her skin, representing the hidden desires left within..." "The killer could still be in the province! Let's go!" *zoom*

*"How Japanese Monks resisted naughty desires by using human corpses"* There's something extremely wrong with that title

I'm amused at the idea of some monk just sitting there doodling a decomposing body to kill his bros' libidos.

This is also good advice for finding a partner in general. While some physical aspects can be a sign of personality flaws, anyone you marry or date long term will fade in attractiveness. May as well choose someone you actually like over someone hot.

If there's a second Ghost of Tsushima game, feel like the developers could just come to your channel for side-quest ideas.

POV: You’re a Monk You see a beautiful woman and your staff rises. You head over to the nearest death painting. You discover your forbidden kink.

These folks gave a whole new meaning to "boning".

I did not head your warning. Dinner was almost ruined. I've noone but myself to blame. 😭

Christian monks also often meditated on death, although I have never heard of anything like the 9 stages of decomposition in Christian tradition.

I'm a Jodo Shu Buddhist and I love your videos on Buddhism. I just like laughing at myself sometimes and your videos are a top quality source of Buddhist memes. Keep at it!

As a practicing Buddhist I can only say this channel shines brilliantly upon our oft strange tactics.

5:46 yep, those paintings appear to be pretty effective. Impure thoughts long gone. And if I ever need a reminder I can just close my eyes and that image is right there burned into the back of my eventually-decaying skull.

I really, REALLY hate to ask this question, but my curiosity is too great and I'm not a Buddhist nun: "What did they do if they realized they were into the decaying process?"

Thinking of the body as a boil with a bunch of forever leaking holes is definitely a new one for me

I love te way death is observed in Buddhism. My sensei used to wear a Nenju (rosary) whose beads were made of human and animal bones. He said that it reminds him impermanence, our precious time that fades constantly and the value of each moment alive.

When I need a mental cold shower, I just think of my grandma.

NNN gameplay: Constant suffering for a month NNN Lore:

I think you need to advertise this video as a stomach challenge, Linfamy. I'm pretty comfortable about newly dead people, but decayed and decomposed bodies have made me queasy, even though it's art (very well drawn art too).

Yea, I heard people say this is very useful for gaining insight and nonattachment and subsiding desire.

2:40 - I was not expecting an Eminiem reference, but I don't hate it! XD Great humor as always my dude!

Dude, you said there would be disturbing stuff, but you didn't say not to watch it while eating. Thanks, man.

Can you elaborate on the burial point? So if burial for peasants wasn't that common until the 1400s, what did they do to dispose of bodies? Just let them rot out in the open in cemetaries?

I'm on a diet and liver detox. Thanks for the new way to stave away earthly appetites, Linfamy!

I guess the upside of using a corpse as an artist's model would be that you wouldn't have to tell them to stay still. Well, hopefully, anyway.

sending in your wife to see the same guy who was thirsting for her is absolute insanity

Many other Buddist traditions do meditation on corpeses too. In Thailand for example one can donate their body, so that after dying they can cook the body which makes is easy to take apart without too much mess, and meditate on the different body parts. It is not common anymore though. Most of the decaying body meditations are done without an actual corpse. They do also do meditation at the graveyard, but this is more to overcome fear of the supernatural.

Omfg… JJK’s nine death painting brothers are named after the nine stages of decay. Choso is the “freshly dead” stage and he’s literally a 12/10 big tiddy goth bf💀

Reminds me of this one very beautiful female nun(not sure if she's a miko or not) that actually asked this one request from her peer; after her death, she wants her body to be put in the middle of the road to teach people that beauty is transient, and everyone will decompose and eaten by scavengers all the same(typically)

"So, what if we traumatized ourselves with rotting corpses so much that sexual attraction wasn't possible."

There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’⁴

The observation of "the nine stages of the decoposition of a corpse? practice goes all the way back to the earliest texts in Buddhism, long before it ever arived in Japan. Monks in Thaland and other south east asian conties that practice the earliest kind of Buddhism (Therevadan) still do it.

Great video. About corpses, whatever works for them. Unless one of them is affected by necrophilia.

I feel like this would end up making some monks into necrophiliacs

This is amazing, thank you for posting ❤️

Watching these videos I am often struck at how similar Buddhist views of women and "the desires of the flesh" are to Christian ones.

A great inspirational video and an astounding lesson on reality. Thank you for your efforts to make this video and really appreciate you well timed humour, it made even the morbid content tolerable.

Your puns are on point! 😄 I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thanks for the video.

I repeated that “Oh My Buddha!” several times LOL 😂 . “Monk staff filled with holy water 💧 “ :)))

5:38 Medieval Japanese woman jumpscare

Imagine being a necrophiliac Monk, the most twisted moment

I've never understood this way of thinking. Appreciation of beauty, understanding it's loss and celebrating its existence is better than being stabbed in the eye with the knife of enlightenment. An amber glow is better than burning rays of light.

This is such a clockwork orange level of programing...

Most animals would only eat the corpse at stage 1! Only carrion eaters have the stomach and immune system to deal with a decomposing corpse. BTW: the smell of a corpse has also stages 1) human smell 2) fishy (amines released from decomposition of proteins) 3) smell of rotten eggs (thiol compounds released from proteins) 4) smell of cut grass and moldy wine cellar (no meat left)

Screw junji ito, this is true creepy art. Gotta be really effective at removing them desires too....

all of your double entendres and puns make me laugh! Thank you!

Perfect video to watch while eating lunch. Me and my bad decisions. Great as always!

0:15 - Solid wording there 😂 ...okay, I kept watching, and it turns out, you are just all around funny AF 👏👏👏

I didn't expect to stay, but that intro segment really got me hooked.

I thought we were going to miss the blackened putrefaction stage but it was included at the end of the video. That last set was extremely accurate. And then liquefaction, where the soft tissue is just ooze. Then the denser cartilage breaks down and the bones separate. The processing of a body out in the open is faster because it’s aided by insects and animals, along with the direct exposure to the weather and external bacteria. It’s super gross 🤮 but returning to the earth after we die is one of the most important things that we do as humans. We come from the earth and to the earth we should return.

Err... Is this why I keep finding so many hentai zombie manga?

your humor in this video is so funny!

Seriously happy I'm not the only who sings "Lose It" any time the phrase "back to reality" is used, lol.

You just gained a subscriber

I believe this specific type of meditation on death & decay is called Asubha. You may regret searching it, as its images are *extremely* graphic.

The paintings despite being heavily stylized are still disturbing. They feel very real

I remember seeing a couple of paintings in a forensic science book regarding how they unknowingly recorded how a body decomposes.

3:41 best quote ever

>Goes to taco bell >Achieves enlightenment

Not me watching this while eating lol. Appreciate your videos Linfamy!

Yey new episode

Given what they did to Chigo I thought their activities with corpses would have been.... *different*

“with his head high and his pee pee dry” I’m fuckin deceased

Great video

Really gotta wonder if some monks only ended up having erotic dreams about zombies. And kudos for those who get the reference.

Since you mentioned beautiful women scolding men for their desires, will you be discussing Jigoku Dayu soon?

But it's those temporary desires that make life worth living.

Still your winner!! Love this

Video actually helped with a heartbreak. Thanks

“Ah. How the image of the maggots in her eye sockets withers my pp.” that made me laugh so hard! I’ll forever remember that line 😂

I have been to merch store and I was wondering if you do pins or keychains of Japanese gods and demons. I find your designs really good.

The humour is on point!

A video on different sects of Buddhism would be a cool video!

How do you find this stuff? Fascinating, especially with the art

There was an order of French Carmelite nuns who did not bury their dead sisters, but put them on stone chairs with holes leading to a pot bellow to catch the decaying debris. The nuns would spend a night or two in that room with their dead and often decaying sisters to meditate on death in a manner similar to this video. The Catholic concept of sainty relics is another one: holiness is a ravaging grace that will hollow you out as it tears your soul from death and into eternal life, and the fact that these holy men and women still go through death and leave behind bodies reminds us mortals that it is possible to achieve sanctity.

I didn't expect to laugh at this....thanks!

It is really nice video👍👍👍

This was interesting and not gonna lie, I laughed a lot. Hate to be that annoying viewer, but will you make anymore Japanese myth videos?

With this content I can reach my ultimate Anti Post Nut Clarity 😂🙏🏼📿

Oh fuck, I love this dude! You are speaking of my favorite religious subjects and commenting with my personal internal commentary ahahahah! I love you.

Before 30 minute gang. Thanks for the video my dude!

@ 3:18 I see what you did there Limfamy, love your puns! 🤣

Judging by your other videos mentioning all the prostitution going on near the temples I’m assuming this didn’t work too well.

I will hence forth be using the word VEJAINA whenever possible lol always really great content sir..educational and funny..I'm a fan

Funny thing is, a few weeks before I discovered your video I tried that. It was therapeutic to some extent.

So this is where Jujutsu Kaisen got the idea for theDeath Paintings from, interesting and disgusting!

Just one question in the news article of this country in the headlines they destroyed um some giant rocks with a seal or not and the rumors that there is an ancient curse. Is it true in the past?

"oops there goes gravity" Sir, your not allowed to be rockin my style so damn *hard*

Reminds me of a practice called patikulamanasikara aka "Asuba Bawana". The practice entails meditating upon 32 parts of body.

Oof, this reminded me of what I used to do in highschool where I imagine people being peeled back layer by layer until only the bones remain. I guess I would have had better visualizations had I done human diasections before.

And yet the monks still ate daily meals containing food that would go through a similar process of decay. Even worse, the food is already dead when they eat it. Lots of little veggie corpses for dinner. If they had meditated on that, sex wouldn't have seem so bad. At least you're getting that while their fresh and alive, unlike that dinner salad.

Why did I decide to watch the story my lunch break while I'm eating? I'm here for it though

like your humor. helps with the science truth and the cultural crazy.
