Body

I have no body apart
From parts which form it. I know no parts Apart from a "body." A body with no parts Would be unformed, A part of my body apart from my body Would be absurd. Were the body here or not, It would need no parts. Partless bodies are pointless. Do not get stuck in the "body." I cannot say, "My body is like its parts." I cannot say, "It's something else." Feelings, perceptions, Drives, minds, things Are like this body In every way. Conflict with emptiness Is no conflict; Objections to emptiness, No objections.
