于虚空中,在莲花月轮的座垫上,从释迦牟尼佛到能生信心的佛陀之间,贤劫千佛等以手印五部等各种方式示现。所有主尊和眷属都以妙相好庄严,是化身无染的形象,具有三种法衣。在此第一个坛城中,根据噶陀派的记录和口诀,六瓣莲花的中央是释迦牟尼佛,从东方开始依次是燃灯佛、慈氏佛、药师佛、无量光佛、观世音菩萨、能生信心的佛陀。据说观世音菩萨和能生信心的佛陀在重大节日和吉祥日都不在,因此难以考证。而且,虽然有将他们迎请到积资田,仅仅供养七支供而不作其他询问的说法,但在竹尔派和噶陀派中都没有这样的说法依据。特别是,在竹尔派的听闻记录中,第一个坛城的主尊是导师,以吉祥日的三尊神和三世诸佛被千佛眷属围绕来讲述。然而,如果按照根本的十八品章节来划分,第一个坛城中有舍利子,以及四位出家和在家的曼嘎拉,或者四种眷属,或者四对补特伽罗等多种解释方式。在此,第一个眷属的殊胜双尊属于殊胜八尊之中,其他将在下面出现,因此吉祥日和重大节日的神只有竹尔派才有,而贤劫千佛是按照拉钦的意图安排的。第二个坛城是被四种眷属围绕的坛城,在四瓣莲花的中央,狮子座莲花月轮的座垫上是黄色触地印和禅定印的释迦牟尼佛。四瓣莲花上有四种眷属,即主尊右侧南方的莲花上有比丘,左侧北方的莲花上有比丘尼,前方东方的莲花上有优婆塞,后方西方的莲花上有优婆夷,比丘和比丘尼都具有三种法衣和锡杖,优婆塞和优婆夷都具有在家的装束。第三个坛城是被四对补特伽罗围绕的坛城,在四瓣莲花的中央,狮子座莲花月轮的座垫上是黄色触地印和禅定印的释迦牟尼佛。四瓣莲花上,右侧是阿罗汉,左侧是不还者,前方是一来者,后方是预流果,都是出家的装

In space, on a lotus and moon cushion, from Shakyamuni Buddha to the Buddha who generates faith, the thousand Buddhas of the Fortunate Aeon are manifested in various ways such as the five mudra families. All the main deities and retinues are adorned with excellent marks and signs, having the appearance of an emanation body free from attachment, and possessing the three kinds of Dharma robes. In this first mandala, according to the Kathok tradition's notes and oral instructions, in the center of the six petals is Shakyamuni Buddha. From the east, in order, are Dipamkara Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Avalokiteśvara, and the Buddha who generates faith. It is said that Avalokiteśvara and the Buddha who generates faith are not present on major festivals and auspicious days, making it difficult to verify. Moreover, although there is a tradition of inviting them to the field of accumulation and offering only the seven-branch offering without asking further questions, there is no such source of explanation in both the Zur tradition and the Kathok tradition. In particular, in the Zur tradition's listening records, the main deity of the first mandala is the Teacher, who is described as being surrounded by the thousand Buddhas with the three deities of auspicious days and the Buddhas of the three times. However, if we consider the eighteen chapters of the root text, there are many ways to explain the first mandala, such as Shariputra, and the four ordained and lay Mangalas, or the four kinds of retinues, or the four pairs of individuals. Here, the supreme pair of the first retinue belongs to the supreme eight, and the others will appear below. Therefore, only the Zur tradition has the deities of auspicious days and major festivals, and the thousand Buddhas of the Fortunate Aeon are arranged according to Lha-them's intention. The second mandala is the mandala surrounded by the four kinds of retinues. In the center of the four-petaled lotus, on the lion throne lotus and moon cushion, is the yellow Shakyamuni Buddha in the earth-touching and meditative mudras. The four petals have the four kinds of retinues, namely, a Bhikshu on the right southern petal of the main deity, a Bhikshuni on the left northern lotus, an Upasaka on the front eastern petal, and an Upasika on the back western lotus. The Bhikshu and Bhikshuni both have the three Dharma robes and a staff, and the Upasaka and Upasika both have the appearance of householders. The third mandala is the mandala surrounded by the four pairs of individuals. In the center of the four-petaled lotus, on the lion throne lotus and moon cushion, is the yellow Shakyamuni Buddha in the earth-touching and meditative mudras. On the four petals, on the right is an Arhat, on the left is a Non-Returner, in front is a Once-Returner, and behind is a Stream-Enterer, all of whom are ordained.

“门由四大天王守护, 由国王和菩萨掌管。 仅仅进入佛陀教法的门, 所有守护的护法, 对九乘都是相同的, 特别是每一乘都有一个护法。 因此,依止他们就能获得果报。” 这样以良好的理由之论证成立,因此如下:东门由持国天王白色持琵琶守护,南门由增长天王蓝色持剑守护,西门由广目天王红色持佛塔和蛇索守护,北门由多闻天王黄色持胜幢守护。因此,为了观修这些罗汉的证悟,以及在绘画和雕塑中塑造他们有所助益,有如下的善说出现:在利玛瓦大师所著的《罗汉供养仪轨》的附录中说:这里主要是应卓嘎瓦等人的劝请,为了佛陀教法兴盛的缘起而作,也为了对塑造佛像绘画有所帮助而作。现在绘制罗汉像的人很多,但没有见到符合仪轨的,像这样具有特殊必要性的情况也没有听说过。画老者四位,青年四位,壮年四位,衰老四位,这样没有必要目的的说法,被苯教徒欺骗,画成老年人被衰老疾病折磨的样子,牙齿脱落,眼珠失去光泽的样子,以及画成侍者等任何不悦意不吉祥的样子,这对于世间大众,特别是施主来说是不合适的。
