A. Before enlightenment, that is, when you see your body as a body, it may sometimes feel as if it were a foundation for enlightenment and sometimes as if it were an obstacle, according to how you perceive it, because you cannot see things as they are.
However, once you, having attained enlightenment, can see everything as it is, your body turns out to be the true-Self, just as the Buddha stated when he said that everything is the true-Self.
