1.277

是身無主為如地　此下六界觀無我也。肇曰。夫萬事萬形皆四大成。在外則為土石山河在。內則為四支百體聚。而為生散而為死。生則為內。死則為外。內外雖殊然其大不異故。以內外四大類明無我也外地古故。今相傳強者先宅故無主也。身亦示眾緣所成。緣合則起緣。散則離。何有真宰常主之者。主壽人即是一我。義立四名耳。地性能持妄計為主。

"This body has no master, being like the earth." Here begins the contemplation of non-self through the six elements. Sengzhao states: "All things and all forms are formed of the four great elements. Externally they are soil, stones, mountains, and rivers; internally they are the four limbs and the hundred parts of the body. Gathering together, they constitute life; dispersing, they constitute death. Living, they are internal; dead, they are external. Although internal and external differ, their great elements are not different. Therefore, by comparing internal and external elements, he clarifies non-self. External land has been passed down from ancient times to the present; whoever is strongest takes residence first, so it has no permanent master. The body is also shown to be formed of numerous conditions: when conditions combine, it arises; when conditions disperse, they separate. How could there be a true controller who permanently masters it? Master, lifespan, and person are simply one self, with four names established according to meaning. Because the nature of earth can support things, people falsely grasp it as a master."
