English version: Only when the grass begins to grow can it be used. It is necessary to choose a broad piece of land, cutting the grass evenly, leaving only the roots. Carefully select clean grass before using it. Furthermore, you should know that in order to seek the joy of the Good Eye (an eye that can see the truth of things) and to seek grace and blessings, one must obtain such good grass. If it is used for anger, one must obtain grass that is half-grown and half-ripe. If it is used for no name (no specific purpose), the color of the grass must resemble white mustard seeds. Furthermore, now I will explain it to you. Whether it has been verified or not, if you want to establish an altar (create a mandala) or use the cubit method (a method of measurement), you should first select the site and then begin to make the altar. The altar should have four gates. Use five colors of earth, finely ground into powder, and use new earthenware vessels, each coated with sandalwood and musk, and place them inside the altar. Also use two earthenware vessels, one containing fine sandalwood powder and the other containing turmeric flowers. Use the aforementioned five colors to plan the altar. The central altar should be square, two cubits on each side, coated with white sandalwood and sprinkled with turmeric flowers. Outside the altar, measure fourteen cubits in each direction to the west. The ground should be coated with clean earth mixed with cow dung. The central altar should be painted with seven colors, depicting a lotus flower, adorned with various treasures. On the lotus flower, draw a thousand-spoked wheel hub. Around the outside of the wheel, draw flames. The stem of the lotus flower should be made like Vaidurya (a type of gemstone). Make a Buddha image on top of it. On the left side of the Buddha image, draw Vajra, holding a pestle in his right hand and an axe in his left hand. On the right side of the Buddha image, draw Mani Vajri Bodhisattva (Vajrapani Bodhisattva), adorned with various ornaments. The Bodhisattva holds a wish-fulfilling jewel in one hand and a Pataca-muk (cloud rosary, i.e., prayer beads) in the other hand. Draw the Four Heavenly Kings at the four corners, wearing armor and adorned with various ornaments, displaying majesty, or appearing frightening. Before making the altar, both inside and outside the altar, first dig out one cubit of bad earth. The central altar should be slightly elevated. It is also necessary to decorate with banners, flags, umbrellas, and canopies. The four edges of the altar should be painted with five colors. Make a fire pit in each of the four directions outside the altar, and light a fire with good firewood according to the Dharma. Place banners and flags at each of the four corners of each fire pit. Surround the altar with five-colored silk ribbons. Leave only one gate on the south side for entry and exit. Place banners and flags at the corners of the outer altar, each on the east side. Also, mix five fragrances with water and place them in a golden bottle, and place beautiful flowers in each, placing them at the corners of the altar.
