Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDharmānupaśyanā (धर्मानुपश्यना) refers to “(awareness which consists in) considering the dharma”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] In the same way, having known that the feeling, perception, formative factors and consciousness are impermanent, just as the Bodhisattva gives a gift more and more, he expands his feelings, thoughts and dharmas. Likewise, having known that the form is impermanent, having practiced the application of awareness which consists in considering the dharma (dharmānupaśyanā), etc., having known that the form is like grass, trees, walls, paths, and reflections, he applies himself to the awareness which consists in considering the dharma. [...]”.
