Sutta 237
"Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge of lust, ten things are to be developed.
What ten?
The perception of unattractiveness, the perception of death, the perception of the repulsiveness of food, the perception of non-delight in the entire world, the perception of impermanence, the perception of suffering in the impermanent, the perception of non-self in what is suffering, the perception of abandoning, the perception of dispassion, and the perception of cessation.
For direct knowledge of lust, these ten things are to be developed."
Sutta 238
[3310] "Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge of lust, ten things are to be developed.
What ten?
The perception of impermanence, the perception of non-self, the perception of the repulsiveness of food, the perception of non-delight in the entire world, the perception of a skeleton, the perception of a worm-infested corpse, the perception of a livid corpse, the perception of a festering corpse, the perception of a fissured corpse, and the perception of a bloated corpse.
For direct knowledge of lust, these ten things are to be developed."
Sutta 239
"Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge of lust, ten things are to be developed.
What ten?
Right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration, right knowledge, and right liberation.
For direct knowledge of lust, these ten things are to be developed."
Sutta 240-266
"Bhikkhus, for full understanding of lust ...
for the utter destruction ...
for the abandoning ...
for the destruction ...
for the vanishing ...
for the fading away ...
for the cessation ...
for the giving up ...
for the relinquishment of lust ...
these ten things are to be developed."
Suttas 267-746
"Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge ...
for full understanding ...
for the utter destruction ...
for the abandoning ...

This is what the Blessed One said.
Elated, those bhikkhus delighted in the Blessed One's statement.
The Book of the Tens is finished.
