detail, so that sunyata is realized in every part of the
body. All parts of the body have meditations upon them:
the eyeball, for instance, is sunyata, and even inside one
tiny body-hair, the void nature is to be clearly seen.
Sunyata is the Buddha-nature, so if anything remains in
which sunyata is not seen, then one has not the
Buddha-body.
Then with great emphasis, Mr. Chen said:
If one has not passed through the sublimation-stage of
sunyata meditations in the Mahayana, then Vajrayana
visualizations become just like magic of delusory nature,
and certainly one does not possess that which is quite
devoid of delusion, a Buddha-body.
The process with the other three meditations is similar
and the remarks made on the body's successive
transmutations apply also to them. As we will have a
chance to talk about them in the Vajrayana chapters,
there is no need to dwell upon them here.
