From Billy.
Repulsiveness of Body meditation is Asubha meditation. You can find this in MN119 (Kāyaga­tā­sati­sutta), reflecting on 31 parts of the body.

Bhante Punnaji Thank you, I just enjoy that particular moment because Bhante starts reading the 32 body parts and it helps me remember it.

Why meditate?
One is to removed greed, hatred, delusions.
These 3 factors are the main cause of one endless birth.
To remove them will not be easy and impossible if without the BUDDHA instructions.
The instructions that lead to ends of further rebirth.
Thus vipasanna meditation were instructed by the Buddha to be the way leading to the stopping of further birth. One can reach this moment 0f stopping of thoughts once the mind shuts down during vipasanna meditation.
This will be known if one are guided by ariya and the correct instructions of the practice are shown correctly.
Nibanna can be here and now.
BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI.
