“Someone who wishes to know
This body of the Lord of the World⁸⁰⁵
Should meditate on this samādhi,
And then they will know the Buddha’s body.⁸⁰⁶ {1}

“A buddha’s body is born from merit.⁸⁰⁷
It⁸⁰⁸ is pure and it is brilliant.
It is the same as space;
There is no difference between them. {2}

“The characteristics of a buddha
Are the same as those of enlightenment.
The characteristics of the body
Are the same as those characteristics. {3}

“The body has enlightenment’s characteristics
And a buddha realm has the same.
The strengths, liberations, and dhyānas
Are all also a single characteristic. {4}

“That is the nature of the emergence
Of the buddhas, of the lords of worlds.
There is no being who with physical eyes
Is able to see their bodies. {5}

“There are many who declare,
‘I have seen the guide of the world.
He is the color of gold and his body
Illuminates the entire world.’ {6}

“This body that is seen,
Beautified by characteristics,
Is a manifestation through the power
Of the blessing of the buddhas. {7}

“The Buddha’s body is displayed
As having a height and a width,
But that body cannot be measured,
And therefore it is inconceivable. {8}

“If the Buddha’s body could be measured
And found to be of a certain size,
Then the Teacher would be the same
As a deva or a human. {9}

“That characteristic is the ripening
Of a mind in meditation.
There will be pure, radiant names-and-form
That have that characteristic. {10}

“There is no being whatsoever
Who has meditated on this samādhi of peace
It is in that way that the Lord of the World
Has practiced for millions of eons. {11}

“I have developed this samādhi
Through a multitude of good qualities.
Because of the vastness of that samādhi
My body cannot be seen. {12}

“As is someone’s mind,
So are their names-and-form;
The mind that has no nature of its own
Has names-and-form with that characteristic. {13}

“Those who have a gross perception
Of names-and-form,
Their inharmonious perception
