The measurement of the mandala of an empty space. The method of drawing lines is: draw the wisdom line in the sky, and draw the commitment line on the ground. The paint is: the best five kinds of precious stones, the middle five kinds of grains, and the lowest five kinds of powder paints. The method of drawing is: draw whatever is done, whether it is extensive, medium, or concise. The method of dividing the aspects is: divide the speech into letters or seed syllables, the mind into hand gestures or symbols, and the body into images or mandala diagrams. The method of consecration is: invite the wisdom being and merge it into the commitment being. Make offerings to it, praise it, and pray for it to remain until samsara is empty. If the fire offering is observed to be inauspicious, then perform it. Then, the disciple enters and is given empowerment. The benefit is: entering such a complete mandala of rituals is like entering the self-nature mandala. These are the instructions given in the recitation section. The materials for the line are: pegs, thread, and large weapons. The assistants for the line are: beautiful and pleasing companions with beautiful clothes and ornaments. The method of drawing the line is: the ritual of drawing the line is complete, and it is done carefully by a wise and great person. In short, drawing the line is divided into two: the materials for the line, the assistants for the line, the method of drawing the line, and avoiding faults. The materials for the line are: the material for surrounding the outer wheel is pegs, the material for placing the angular parts is thread, and the material for the wisdom and commitment lines is color. Among them, the thread for the wisdom line is: made of genuine lotus material, twisted into five strands, and has the colors of the five wisdoms. The thread for the commitment line is: made of cotton and wool, has three colors, and represents body, speech, and mind. Place these two in a clean container, purify them, and bless them as the five wisdoms and body, speech, and mind. The assistant for the line is: a sixteen-year-old consort, adorned with ornaments, with a pure and pleasing mind. The method of drawing the line is: oṃ vajra sūtra samaya maṇi dhṛa mahā hūṃ phaṭ (藏文，梵文天城体：，梵文罗马拟音：oṃ vajra sūtra samaya maṇi dhṛa mahā hūṃ phaṭ，汉语字面意思：嗡，金刚，线，誓言，宝，持，大，吽，呸). Throw the wisdom line into the sky in the empty space, invite the Buddhas of the three times there, ask them to stay, make a slight offering, and entrust them as witnesses. oṃ sarva śodhani hūṃ phaṭ (藏文，梵文天城体：，梵文罗马拟音：oṃ sarva śodhani hūṃ phaṭ，汉语字面意思：嗡，一切，清净，吽，呸). With this, draw the commitment line on the ground. Draw whatever mandala is being made, whether it is concise, extensive, medium, etc. The manifestation of faults is: if the thread breaks, the teacher will die. If the direction is confused, both the teacher and the student will break their vows. If the line is broken, there will be obstacles on the path. Therefore, one must be skilled in practice, view and conduct.

因此，应当戒除酒、睡眠和懒惰，集中精力去做。或者说，十六肘，这也是寂静中等的尺度。二十或二十五，这是寂静广大两种仪轨的尺度，即二十和二十五。观想五部坛城，无论做广大、中等还是简略的坛城，这五部的坛城，如果是寂静身仪轨，就以毗卢遮那佛为主尊，观想其他作为眷属，因此称为部。如果是语仪轨，就以无量光佛为主尊，其他作为眷属。如果是意仪轨，就观想金刚在中央，其他作为眷属。如果是功德仪轨，就以宝生佛在中央，其他作为眷属。如果是事业仪轨，就以不空成就佛作为中央的主尊，其他作为眷属，因此称为部。如此观想的所依是，无论安放什么所缘依，都要完整地安放仪轨的各个部分，或者也要接受加持过的线绳和彩粉。确定的是要做哪一部的仪轨。身语意具足形象也要安放，所谓身是擦擦，语是字，意是手印。这三者安放哪个都可以，要安放与身语意三者相应的加持过的形象，首先是文字，从文字产生手印，从手印产生身像来安放。或者，语坛城与语字相应，同样也要做身语意的坛城。因此，每个本尊也要具备完整的三身。或者一由旬或一俱卢舍，或者说，最好的尺度是，五弓为一丈，一由旬为一俱卢舍，八俱卢舍为一逾缮那，这是最好的，是最好的两种尺度。这要怎么做呢？因为阿阇黎安住在临近的道路上，只要丢弃线绳就可以开始仪轨。虚空界不可思议，或者说，尺度没有确定，虚空有多广阔，法界就有多广阔，法界没有边际，法界像坛城，智慧像本尊。观想各种各样的佛坛城，如果幻化自在，可以观想千佛、两万一千佛等等。

Therefore, one should abandon alcohol, sleep, and laziness, and concentrate on doing it. Or, sixteen cubits, this is also the measure of a peaceful medium. Twenty or twenty-five, these are the two measures of the peaceful and extensive rituals, namely twenty and twenty-five. Meditate on the five mandala families. Whether you make an extensive, medium, or concise mandala, that mandala of the five families, if it is a peaceful body ritual, then Vairochana is the main deity, and the others are meditated upon as retinue, hence it is called a family. If it is a speech ritual, then Amitabha is the main deity, and the others are placed as retinue. If it is a mind ritual, then Vajra is meditated upon in the center, and the others are placed as retinue. If it is a quality ritual, then Ratnasambhava is placed in the center, and the others are meditated upon as retinue. If it is an action ritual, then Amoghasiddhi is the main deity in the center, and the others are meditated upon as retinue, hence it is called a family. The support for meditating in this way is, whatever object of focus is placed, the various parts of the ritual must be placed completely, or the blessed thread and colored powder must also be accepted. What is certain is which family's ritual is to be done. The form endowed with body, speech, and mind must also be placed, namely the body is a tsakali, the speech is a syllable, and the mind is a hand gesture. Any of these three can be placed, but a blessed form corresponding to the three, body, speech, and mind, must be placed. First the letter, from the letter the hand gesture, and from the hand gesture the body is made and placed. Or, the speech mandala corresponds to the speech syllable, and similarly the mandalas of body, speech, and mind should be made. Therefore, each deity must also possess the complete three bodies. Or a yojana or a krosha. Or, the best measure is, five bows are one fathom, one yojana is one krosha, eight krosas are one yojana, this is the best, these are the two best measures. How is this to be done? Because the Acharya is dwelling on the nearby path, the ritual can begin simply by dropping the thread. The realm of space is inconceivable, or, there is no certainty about the measure, the Dharma realm is as vast as the sky, and the Dharma realm is infinite. The Dharma realm is like a mandala, and wisdom is like a deity. Meditate on various Buddha mandalas. If one has mastery over illusion, one can meditate on a thousand Buddhas, twenty-one thousand Buddhas, and so on.
