: MDPI Books: The Ocean of HeroesThe Inner Universe (present in the body of each individual) is equated to the abstract structure of the Outer Universe.鈥擳he Sa峁僾ara tradition has the idea in common that the abstract structure of the outer universe (the external) is also present in the body of each individual practitioner (the internal): they are non-dual. According to the Bohit膩 (D 1419, 133 r 1鈥搑 2), the external means the strata of [the Five Elements] such as the Earth [Element] (sa la sogs pa dkyil 鈥檏hor) and the Three Realms [comprising the Five Elements] (khams gsum), and the internal refers to the physical body comprising the [Five] Elements such as the Earth [Element] (sa la sogs pa鈥檌 khams kyi rang bzhin gyi lus).
