I wonder in how far the burning of human corpses in the open is still a thing? Ideally looking for a place where there are always burnings and corpses and mourning. Heard it's suitable from the Dhutanga chapter of the Visuddhimagga : > Even in sleep the dweller in a charnel ground shows naught Of negligence, for death is ever present to his thought; He may be sure there is no lust after sense pleasure preys Upon his mind, with many corpses present to his gaze. Rightly he strives because he gains a sense of urgency, While in his search for final peace he curbs all vanity. Let him that feels a leaning to Nibbána in his heart Embrace this practice for it has rare virtues to impart
