佛言:「昔有栴那比丘得病,佛使舍利弗往與分衛。舍利弗因問之:『汝眼寧有所識不?』栴那對言曰:『眼無所識,但見色,識生身生,病對至故有病,身亦不知死。設身死者,地水火風空皆當滅,但為意識移生耳。』

The Buddha said: "In the past, the monk Channa fell ill, and the Buddha sent Śāriputra to go and bring him piṇḍapāta. Śāriputra then asked him: 'Does your eye have any consciousness?' Channa replied, saying: 'The eye has no consciousness; it merely sees form. Consciousness arises and the body arises; when the retribution of illness arrives, therefore there is illness. The body also does not know death. If the body dies, earth, water, fire, wind, and space will all perish; it is merely that the mental consciousness migrates to rebirth.'"
