“The body is ownerless, the product of a variety of conditions. Impermanent, fragile, and feeble it is like a magical illusion, consisting of falsifications like a ball of foam, unable to bear any pressure like a water bubble, not remaining very long, like a mirage, born from the appetites of the passions. Wise men do not rely on it.”

Vimalkirti विमल 600 – 500 BCE via Robert Thurman, Shan Dao
Close disciple of the Buddha who extended his teachings to common people
