有情之身,俱是四大假合以成其形,仍假虛名也。且地水火風是名四大,以要言之,即骨、肉、毛、髮是地,津液、精、血是水,煖觸是火,四支百脈搖動是風,各以假名成此幻身。若熟念之,何者為我?寄生浮世,倏忽而滅,都如幻夢爾。
The body of a sentient being is entirely formed by the provisional combination of the four great elements to constitute its form, which furthermore is borrowed by an empty name. Earth, water, fire, and wind are called the four great elements. To speak of the essentials: bones, flesh, hair, and fur are earth; saliva, vital essence, and blood are water; warmth is fire; and the movement of the four limbs and hundred vessels is wind. Each through a provisional name constitutes this illusory body. If one contemplates it thoroughly, what is 'I'? Lodging temporarily in this fleeting world, it vanishes in an instant, entirely like an illusory dream.
