The "Purifying Practice" section of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra is far more visually oriented than I remembered but here are some tangentially related verses in case they help. A) p. 318 - toilet/washing B) p. 326 - food/flavor Perhaps not as relevant but possibly still of interest.pic.twitter.com/iIH2aJiY7A

you are right, not directly relevant, but certainly inspiring, thanks!

This seems to be again something else, isn't it? Here the point is disidentifying with one's sensations, however agreeable, and understanding that they are not-oneself (an-ātman) and therefore ultimately nil (nir-ātman). Are you reading it otherwise?

Might have missed the earlier context. Just noting a few additional branches stemming from the Vimalakīrti reference to receiving the Buddha's teachings olfactorily and Laṅkāvatāra reference to communication/teaching with a sensory, non-linguistic medium. Apologies if off topic.
