6.61

Furthermore, the Bhagavat Vairocana told the vajradhara Guhyakādhipati: "Guhyakādhipati, those bodhisattvas practicing the bodhisattva path through the mantra-naya who desire to accomplish the samādhi without characteristics should contemplate thus: 'From where does ideation arise? Does it arise from one's own body, or from one's own mind and intellect? If it arises from the body, the body is like grass, trees, tiles, and stones; its intrinsic nature is like this: free from construction, devoid of consciousness, born of karma; one should contemplate it equally as identical to external things. Furthermore, it is like a constructed image, which is not injured or destroyed by fire or water, by blades or poison, by vajras and the like, nor can angry, coarse words move it in the slightest. Even if devas and worldly people revere and provide for it with food, clothing, scented paste, flower garlands, or scented paste of sandalwood, camphor, and such various excellent requisites of enjoyment, it also does not give rise to joy. Why is this? Ignorant children and ordinary persons divide and produce an ego in an image that is empty of intrinsic nature, giving rise to inverted and unreal discriminations, either making offerings or inflicting harm.' Guhyakādhipati, one should abide thus in practicing mindfulness of the body, observing its emptiness of intrinsic nature.
