3.64

"The body is an aggregation of the four great elements, formed of earth, water, fire, and wind; / where it comes and goes and revolves about, even when abiding, no abiding is seen. / As for the body and the body's body, throughout life year by year it casts off the body; / the meaning of the three phrases of the shadow's shadow is like the Buddha leaving behind his spiritual light. / Fine white cloth wrapped around mṛgamada remains fragrant where the perfume has left; / this essential Dharma of the Buddhas is pure, free from blemish or defilement. / The body's body-shadow brings about transformation, delivering those who could not be delivered; / or seeing the Dharma of physical marks, one enters samādhi with mindfulness of the body's body; / free of doubt concerning the shadow's shadow, all will attain the unsurpassed Way."
