The Five Factors to be developed for the destruction of desires/ Defilements (Asavas)

1. Seeing and contemplating the loathsomeness in the body (Asuba sanna),

2. Seeing and contemplating the loathsomeness in food (Aahare patickula sanna),

3. Disenchanted with all the world (Sabba loke anabhiratha sanna),

4. Seeing and contemplating the impermanence in all determinations (Anichcha sanna),

5.  Developing the perception of death thoroughly, established to him internally (Marana sanna),

When these five dhammas are developed and made much, it conduces to the destruction of desires.

Anguttara Nikaya – Panchaka Nipatha - Asavakkhaya Sutta.

May all beings be well and happy and attain the fruit of Nibbana.
