Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāKāyapratyakṣa (कायप्रत्यक्ष) refers to “that which is directly perceived by (the senses) of one’s body”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “Then the Lord applauded the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja: ‘Good man, the teaching of this gate to concentration was well spoken by you. Just as the dharmas are not dependent on others because they are directly perceived by [the senses] of your body (kāyapratyakṣa), in the same way the knowledge of the Tathāgata was elucidated—this complete teaching is good, very good’”.
