English version The Vinaya (law) states: 'After establishing the ordination platform (戒坛, jie tan), one should further establish the boundary of the monastery (僧坊界, seng fang jie). One bhikkhu (比丘, bi qiu) should announce the characteristics of the four-directional boundary and also announce the exclusion of the inner land.' According to this text, two layers of markers should be established: one for the outer boundary of the great boundary (大界, da jie), and the other for the inner boundary of the great boundary. Regarding the outer boundary, the shape of the dwelling place, whether square, round, oblique, or straight, and its size and regularity are not fixed. Therefore, in various treatises, the shape of the boundary may have five or seventeen forms, etc., depending on the preceding circumstances, and the markers inside or outside the boundary can be used as characteristics. Regarding the inner boundary, the standard for the markers is the same as before, and the amount excluded depends on the width and narrowness of the dwelling place. Just distinguish the two boundaries and do not merge them together. The ancient saying of 'one cubit' is actually rigid and inflexible. The method of performing the act and the rules for announcing the characteristics are all the same as before. The method of announcing the characteristics (the demeanor is the same as before). 'Venerable Sangha (僧, seng) listen! I, a bhikkhu, announce to the Sangha the inner and outer characteristics of the four-directional great boundary. Announcing the outer characteristics, from a certain marker at the southeast corner here, and returning to a certain marker at the southeast corner. This completes one round of the outer characteristics of the great boundary.' (Repeat three times. The inner characteristics are according to this method, but the term 'inner characteristics' is different. After repeating each three times, collectively say: 'That is the outer characteristics, this is the inner characteristics, this completes three rounds of the inner and outer characteristics of the great boundary.') The method of formally establishing the great boundary. 'Venerable Sangha listen! This bhikkhu so-and-so has announced the characteristics of the four-directional boundary and the exclusion of the inner land. Now the Sangha establishes the great Sangha boundary, for common dwelling, common Posadha (布萨, bu sa), and common receipt of offerings. If it is the Sangha's time, may the Sangha listen. Announce thus.' 'Venerable Sangha listen! This bhikkhu so-and-so has announced the characteristics of the four-directional boundary and the exclusion of the inner land. Now the Sangha establishes the great Sangha boundary, for common dwelling, common Posadha, and common receipt of offerings. Whoever among the elders approves, let them be silent; those who do not approve, speak.' 'The Sangha has established the four-directional boundary and the exclusion of the inner land as announced by bhikkhu so-and-so, as the great Sangha boundary, for common dwelling, common Posadha, and common receipt of offerings. The Sangha approves, because of the silence, this matter is thus established.' (If there is no ordination platform, the inner land is not excluded. Only the phrase 'excluding the inner land' is different.) The method of dissolving the great boundary (the method is the same as before). 'Venerable Sangha listen!
