Because ordinary beings lack the eye of wisdom, they cherish and play with this body, taking it to be a chariot of pleasure, just like a sightless elephant that only seeks the taste of food and delights in the chariot of the five skandhas. Not grasping non-self, they cherish and nurture the caturmahābhūta, declaring there to be a self; they do not realize this body exists by provisional combination, resembling multiple pieces of wood making up a chariot, and arbitrarily reckon slight suffering to be pleasure, calling it a “chariot of pleasure.” “Form” is the caturmahābhūta. “Spirit” is the conscious spirit. “Form and spirit even separate” directly explains non-self. “How could there be a kingdom” cites a comparable category to show that the kingdom is empty. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.26) - [Next: 3.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.28) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707~en-mt.3.27) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.27) · Pramāṇa
