Patient's question:
I am a young boy just entering puberty, trapped in masturbation and unable to break free. Is there any way to overcome this?Doctor's answer:
Hello: First and foremost, you must understand the dangers of masturbation! Methods to quit masturbation:1. Bedding should be light and not too warm.
2. Wash the genital area and lower abdomen with cold water before going to bed.
3. During sleep, eliminate desires and silently chant a mantra. Alternatively, visualize the Pure Land until falling asleep.
4. Go to bed late and wake up early.
5. Engage in light exercise frequently.
6. Practice seated meditation with the "impure views" (refer to the Nine Views of Impurity in the "Essentials of Buddhist Practice at Home").
7. Avoid reading erotic books, watching pornographic videos, or uttering obscene words.
8. Have a light dinner. Avoid stimulating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, chili peppers, coffee, and strong tea. After marriage, masturbation will naturally cease.
