19.432

下約喻顯，觀行比丘乃至恒無間轉者，如觀骨時若未廣觀先觀髑髏，乃至觀足親所依繩床是骨，一房一僧伽藍一村一聚落一國乃至大地骨皆充滿，後欲界緣除所見骨，以久習觀骨境現前不能除滅，遂作是念如是骨聚雖遍大地，但是我心假想安立，推審本心骨相除滅，況前遍計執有定性境時，但有自心，心外無法。

Below, it is illuminated by analogy, from 'a practitioner bhikṣu' up to 'constantly and uninterruptedly functioning'. It is like when contemplating bones: if one has not yet contemplated broadly, one first contemplates a skull, and so on up to contemplating the foot, and the rope-bed directly relied upon, as bone; one room, one saṅghārāma, one village, one settlement, one country, and even the great earth are all filled with bones. Afterwards, when wishing to eliminate the seen bones through sensory conditions, because of having long practiced the contemplation, the object of bones appears before one and cannot be eliminated. One then has the thought: 'Although such a heap of bones fills the great earth, it is merely established through the conceptual imagination of my own mind.' By examining one's fundamental mind, the characteristics of bones are eliminated. How much more so earlier, when the parikalpita clings to an object as having a fixed nature, there is only one's own mind, and no phenomena outside the mind.
