How to Eradicate the View of Self of the Manas

Understanding the principle that the five aggregates are suffering, empty, impermanent, and non-self is not really difficult; the problem is that one's views are deeply ingrained and hard to change. Understanding some Buddhist teachings is not really difficult; the difficulty lies in changing one's views, in truly recognizing these dharmas. Everyone knows that the physical body is impermanent and cannot possibly be the self, yet it is of no use—one simply cannot eradicate the view of the body. This is because the manas's long-held views are too deeply entrenched, and it just cannot turn this corner or untie this knot. Therefore, one needs continuous immersion and repeated immersion in order to change His incorrect views and ideas.

How can one change the view that the five aggregates are the self? Observe thoroughly the phenomena of the physical body's arising, ceasing, change, and impermanence, knowing this matter clearly and distinctly. Then condense this matter into a single point and place it deep within the mind, handing it over to the manas. In this way, whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, keep this matter hanging in the mind; when sitting in meditation, also keep this matter hanging in the mind—hanging high and deep. If the observation is not comprehensive or thorough, then observe and contemplate again. One day, the dull-facultied manas will be able to have a breakthrough, and suddenly it will understand: the physical body truly is not the self—and thus the view of the body is eradicated.
