"When this visualization is accomplished, one should form this thought: 'The Buddha-Bhagavats abide in great quietude, their bodies and minds pure, neither coming nor going. As for my body, it is a composite produced by the four elements and five aggregates; it is like a plantain tree, lacking solidity within; like foam on water; like the moon reflected in water; like an image in a mirror; like a mirage in the heat; like shimmering heat-waves; like a city of gandharvas.' After forming this visualization, the statues quickly vanish, and golden light remains. Amid the golden light appears the shadow of a golden Buddha, like an image in a mirror, manifesting all forms throughout the four deportments of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down.
