二、明觀析修習。行者於四禪中應作是念：「我今此定，依欲界身具足色法，何故不見？」作此念已，即當一心諦觀己身一切毛道及與九孔，身內空種皆悉虛疎，猶如羅縠，內外相通；亦如芭蕉，重重無實。作是觀時，即便得見。既得見已，復更諦心觀察，見身如簁、如甑、如蜘蛛網，漸漸微末，身分皆盡，不見於身及五根等。如內身既盡，外色亦然。所以者何？內身四微、四大一切色法，不異外身四微、四大一切色法故。

> Second, clarifying contemplative dissection and practice: within the fourth dhyāna, the practitioner should think: 'My present absorption relies on the desire-realm body complete with form dharmas; why do I not see them?' Having had this thought, they should single-mindedly and attentively contemplate all the pores and the nine orifices of their own body, \[seeing that\] the space elements within the body are all hollow and sparse, just like silk gauze, with inside and outside communicating with each other; and also like a plantain tree, layer upon layer without reality. When performing this contemplation, they immediately see it. Having seen it, they again attentively contemplate with their mind, seeing the body like a sieve, like a steamer, like a spider's web, gradually turning into minute particles until the bodily parts are entirely exhausted, seeing neither the body nor the five faculties and so on. Just as the internal body is exhausted, external form is also like this. Why? Because all form dharmas of the four subtleties and four great elements of the internal body are not different from all form dharmas of the four subtleties and four great elements of external bodies.
