Appearances to the Mind

Sometimes in my dreams there are women…When such dreams happen, immediately I remember, ‘I am a monk.’…It is very important to analyze ‘What is the real benefit of sexual desire?’ The appearance of a beautiful face or a beautiful body – as many scriptures describe – no matter how beautiful, they essentially decompose into a skeleton. When we penetrate to its human flesh and bones, there is no beauty, is there? A couple in a sexual experience is happy for that moment. Then very soon trouble begins.
>The XIV Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso
