Just like one of the methods the Buddha has recommended to His disciples, is to pay attention to the defiling aspects of the body, like the secretion of the body, the waste of the body, things like that. And imagine that the body is made of white bones and full of all the nasty and dirty things inside, inside the filthy bag of skin. And if the disciple meditates on such method, he will soon grow disgusted with any physical form passing in front of him, and thus lose the desire for women or men, fame and position, etc, etc. And he will be able to still his turbulent lustful thoughts, and then be able to concentrate more on spiritual practice. In this respect, I think the number twenty-nine meditation method is very similar to that of the defiling body method that the Buddha has recommended to some of His disciples. But in that case, you should also take note that these methods are only for beginners.

In that case, he should contemplate on this kind of method for a while, or at least when he is having such possessive and lustful thoughts for worldly physical forms and possessions. […]
If you remember in the Surangama Sutra, the Buddha also asked all the Bodhisattvas to recommend Their different methods, so that the disciples can pick and choose what’s the best for them. And then all of Them have spoken about more or less 25 methods, but then everyone has recommended that the Quan Yin (inner Heavenly Light & Sound meditation) is the best, because it’s the most purifying, the strongest, and the most original. But in case you are very disturbed with the worldly senses, which are entrapped in our bodies and it’s very difficult for us to escape, then you should consider contemplating on the defiling form of the body. Or the world, the whole world burning to ashes, etc., method, to still your mind until your mind is calm. Then you can concentrate better on the main Method, which is the Quan Yin (inner Heavenly Sound meditation) Method. […]
Number twenty-seven: “When you are in the worldly activities, keep attentive between the two breaths, and so practice that until after a few days, you’ll be born anew.” This is just one of those things to reach samadhi. […]
