English version With a kind heart, cherish and respect (the Buddha image). The enshrined Buddha image, through hundreds of thousands of kalpas (aeons), will protect the benefactor and their descendants, and all disciples of the Acharya (teacher) will universally receive auspiciousness. If performing altar rituals, auspicious times are: the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, eleventh, and twelfth months. If choosing a day, any of the second, third, seventh, tenth, thirteenth, or fifteenth days of the waxing moon (from the first to the fifteenth of the lunar month) are suitable. The waning moon (from the sixteenth to the thirtieth of the lunar month) is also acceptable. It is also necessary to choose a day when an auspicious constellation is in charge to perform the rituals. If it is the Wing Star (Yixing), Pleiades Star (Bixing), Dipper Star (Douxing), Beak Star (Zuixing), Tail Star (Weixing), Heart Star (Xinxing), Ghost Star (Guixing), Winnowing Basket Star (Jixing), or Encampment Star (Shixing), these are the most superior auspicious stars, and seeking all matters will lead to accomplishment. If it is the Well Star (Jingxing), performing rituals will lead to the fulfillment of all desires, and one will also gain external relatives. If it is the Tail Star (Weixing), Dipper Star (Douxing), or Beak Star (Zuixing), one will gain the respect and love of others and acquire wealth. If it is the Orion Star (Sanxing), one will obtain the cessation of calamities. If it is the Winnowing Basket Star (Jixing), one will obtain longevity for one's descendants. If it is the Encampment Star (Shixing), one will constantly achieve beautiful things. If it is the Ghost Star (Guixing), one will obtain all the most supreme benefits. If it is the Heart Star (Xinxing) or Room Star (Fangxing), one will obtain happiness and contentment. If it is the Jupiter (Muxing), Mercury (Shuixing), or Venus (Jinxing), it is the first choice for auspiciousness. If these three stars are in harmony on the day in charge, performing the enshrinement and celebratory rituals will bring the most supreme blessings. If it is the third, seventh, sixth, tenth, or eleventh star from the front, if these five stars are in conjunction with the moon, using them together is very auspicious. If the second, sixth, tenth, or eleventh star is in conjunction with Mercury (Shuixing), using them together is very auspicious. If the second, seventh, ninth, or eleventh star is in conjunction with Jupiter (Muxing), using them together for summoning and purification is the most excellent and auspicious. If the sixth, seventh, or tenth star is in conjunction with Venus (Jinxing), using them together is very auspicious. If the first, third, or fifth star can cause the loss of wealth. The Acharya (teacher) should thus be skilled in understanding the power of the stars. If the day of the ritual is in harmony with the stars, the matters undertaken will surely be accomplished in an instant. If enshrining and celebrating the Buddha image, one will obtain the most supreme blessings, and should obtain the position of a Chakravartin king (wheel-turning king) or a great king without doubt. Furthermore, if the stars are in harmony and there are no obstacles, the enshrined Buddha images, pagodas, and temples will be accomplished in every lifetime, and people will obtain benefits. If the workers who build the Buddha images and the various laborers, all should be given wealth, comforted with kind words, and not be allowed to feel deprived, so that it conforms to the proper rituals.

English version: The remaining food of the Tathagata (如来, Thus Come One). If anyone eats it, all their sins will be extinguished. The Acharya (阿阇梨, teacher) then teaches the donors, forming good karmic connections, increasing blessings, and bestowing benefits. All gold, silver, treasures, elephants, horses, and carriages are donated according to one's ability, offered with a sincere heart, making the Acharya happy, and the virtuous and holy ones also happy. Furthermore, to the Bhikshus (比丘, male monks), Bhikshunis (比丘尼, female monks), Upasakas (优婆塞, male lay devotees), and Upasikas (优婆夷, female lay devotees), with their wealth and food, offerings are made according to one's ability, so that blessings are perfected. In the early part of the night, great music, singing, dancing, banners, flowers, conch shells, and cymbals are performed. The donors and their families surround with reverence. All offerings within the Mandala (曼拏罗, sacred diagram) must be given to the Acharya, and must not be used elsewhere or given to other Bhikshus, as this is not in accordance with the proper rituals. Once the altar rituals are completed, the altar items are collected. If it is five-colored powder, it is sent into the river. The altar ground is washed with Kumara (衢摩邪, youth) pure water, and the boundary is purified according to the Dharma, and the merits are perfectly accomplished.
