Dhamma objects means things to do with Dhamma.
1. Buddha image is Dhamma sight.
2.Chanting and dhamma talks are Dhamma sound.
3. Incense for the Buddha image is Dhamma smell.
4. Food offered to the Buddha statue, or food offered by others are good Dhamma taste.
5. Sitting cushion, robes or yogi clothes is Dhamma touch.
when our minds come to contact with Dhamma objects, so our minds are more attune to Dhamma.This will reduce the attraction to sensual objects.
Whatever meditation that you take, whether samatha or vipassana, try to build some level of concentration until you can gain some calm and peacefulness. this will let your mind be free from kilesa/defilements fora short time.
