Opinion of this passage from the Vimalakirti Sutra

[Antonio the Sixth]

It is kind of terrifying, and borders on ~excessive hyperbole* tbh (all covered under poetic license, of course!) but it definitely contains a kernel of truth.

I do agree that the body matters though, because it is the vehicle for our sensory perceptions, and in turn our sensory perceptions are what shapes our immaterial self.
