1.83

「然後復當澡浴身體，還著僧伽梨。入於塔中，一心合掌諦觀如來眉間白毫大人相光一日至七日，還至智者所求索懺悔。智者應當告言：『比丘！汝今自觀汝身，猶如金瓶盛四毒蛇——二上、二下——吐毒可畏。復觀一龍六頭繞瓶，龍亦吐毒滴蛇口中，四方大樹從金瓶出遍三界。黑象復來欲拔此樹，四面火起。』見此事已，應當告言：『比丘當知：金瓶者，是地氣也；青色蛇者，從風大生，是風大毒；綠色蛇者，從水大生，是水大毒；白色蛇者，從地大生，是地大毒；黃色蛇者，從火大生，是火大毒；六頭龍者，是汝身中五陰及空。如此身者，毒害不淨，云何縱惡、犯戒不治？』

"Afterwards, one should then bathe the body and put on the saṅghāṭī again. Entering a stūpa, with single-minded focus join the palms and closely contemplate the light of the great man mark of the Tathāgata's white ūrṇā between the eyebrows for one to seven days, and return to the wise person to seek confession and repentance. The wise person should say: 'Bhikṣu! Now contemplate your own body, like a golden vase containing four venomous snakes—two pointing up, two pointing down—frighteningly spitting venom. Further contemplate a six-headed dragon coiling around the vase, the dragon also spitting venom dripping into the mouths of the snakes. Large trees of the four directions emerge from the golden vase, filling the three realms. A black elephant comes again, wishing to uproot these trees, and fire flares up on all four sides.' Having seen this, [the wise person] should say: 'Bhikṣu, you should know: the golden vase is the earth-vapor; the blue snake is born from the wind element and is the poison of the wind element; the green snake is born from the water element and is the poison of the water element; the white snake is born from the earth element and is the poison of the earth element; the yellow snake is born from the fire element and is the poison of the fire element; the six-headed dragon is the five aggregates and emptiness within your body. Such a body is venomous, harmful, and impure; how could you indulge in evil, breaking precepts without curing it?'"
