English version: The interior is impure, yet the four elements (earth, water, fire, wind) transform into food and drink to fill its interior. Observe oneself from head to toe, the thin skin wraps around it, and there is nothing clean inside: brain membrane, mucus, saliva, pus, blood, feces, urine. Briefly speaking, there are thirty-six impure things; broadly speaking, there are countless. It is like a farmer opening a granary, skilled at distinguishing hemp, wheat, millet, and beans. The practitioner deeply observes and sees this body as a warehouse, with all kinds of filth, thirty-six impure things, truly distinguishing them. Observing one's own body in this way, one should know that the external body is no different. If the mind clings to appearances, the body will be soft, and the mind will be happy. If the mind does not cling, one should reproach oneself: 'I have followed you from countless kalpas, experiencing the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) and suffering endless pain. From today onwards, I shall subdue you, and you shall follow me.' One must also gather one's mind and enable it to achieve. If one utterly detests the body, one should contemplate white bones, and one can also enter the first dhyana (meditative absorption). If a practitioner aspires to the Mahayana (Great Vehicle), upon death, one can be reborn before the Buddhas according to one's wishes. If not, one will surely be reborn in Tushita Heaven (Tushita Heaven), and see Maitreya (Maitreya), there is no doubt about it. The fault of the first dhyana is that internally there are initial application and sustained application of thought, and externally there is fire disaster. The fault of the second dhyana is that internally there are joy and happiness, and externally there is water disaster. The fault of the third dhyana is that internally there is inhalation and exhalation, and externally there is wind disaster. In the realm of the fourth dhyana, all faults are eliminated, and the three disasters cannot reach it. The twenty-five realms of existence: the four continents (four continents), the six heavens of desire (six heavens of desire), the four evil destinies (four evil destinies), the four dhyana heavens (four dhyana heavens), the Mahabrahma Heaven (Mahabrahma Heaven), the non-perceptual heaven (non-perceptual heaven). In the fourth dhyana heaven, there are the five Pure Abodes (five Pure Abodes), which together make up the twenty-five realms of existence.
