是身無知如草木瓦礫　此六識界觀也。草木隨氣變化萬形。識身隨業受報非一。既緣變無常。知何異草木。又草木隨氣榮枯。識亦隨緣生滅。生滅無定知何異草木。肇曰。身雖能觸而無知。內識能知而無觸。自性而求二俱無知。既曰無知何異瓦礫。

"This body is devoid of sentience, like grass, trees, tiles, and pebbles." This is the sixth, the contemplation of the consciousness element. Grass and trees transform into myriad shapes in accord with the seasons; the conscious body undergoes diverse retributions in accord with karma. Since it changes impermanently according to conditions, how does its sentience differ from grass and trees? Moreover, grass and trees flourish or wither according to the seasons, and consciousness also arises and perishes according to conditions. Since arising and perishing are indefinite, how does its sentience differ from grass and trees? Sengzhao states: "Although the body can touch, it lacks knowledge; the internal consciousness can know, but it lacks touch. Seeking their intrinsic natures, both are devoid of sentience. Since they are devoid of sentience, how do they differ from tiles and pebbles?"
