English version: The first layer is one elbow high, for fear of the ground cracking. It also indicates that when a Bhiksu (monk) receives precepts at the altar, he should be focused and not distracted. The second layer is one and a half Buddha's elbows high, which is equivalent to four feet and five inches in Tang Dynasty measurement, the same height as the altar when a Chakravartin (Universal Ruler) first ascends the altar to receive abhiseka (consecration). The third layer is two inches high, measured by two inches of Buddha's finger, which is equivalent to four inches for an average person. Now, more than a thousand li east of the country of Udyana (Northern India), crossing the iron cable bridge to the old capital of Udyana, the land is flat and all kinds of fruits are available, which is the ancient fruit garden of the Chakravartin. There is a large stone ordination platform there. Three hundred years after the Buddha's Parinirvana (death), there was a great Arhat (enlightened being) named Ulouzhina, whose power and virtue were extremely great. He built a large temple on the mountain cliff north of the garden, with a circumference of more than fifty li from north to south, and fifteen li where the monks lived. He invited Maitreya (Future Buddha) to direct, employing craftsmen, and after three hundred years, he maintained the lives of these people with great divine power. The temple has five layers of Vihara (monastery), all made of stone. The uppermost layer is more than three hundred feet high, and in the middle is enshrined a sandalwood statue of Buddha, whose appearance is also like the temple; the lowest layer enshrines a red copper statue. Now the upper four layers are all closed, and not accessible to ordinary people; the stone is like crystal, transparent inside and out, and people passing by can see their internal organs reflected. The lowest layer is still used by people today, and is surrounded by various flowers and fruits. To the east is a stone altar, more than two hundred paces in length and width, with stone railings carved exquisitely around it; the base is carved with various strange patterns, about one zhang (ten chi) high. In the center of the upper altar are enshrined Buddha's relics, covered with an inverted bowl-shaped structure, as described earlier. On the day of ordination, monks are gathered as described above, and a high seat is set up separately. First, the 'Last Teaching Sutra' is recited, and all the Bhiksus weep upon hearing it. After the ordination is completed, the 'Last Teaching' is recited again, and this event is still taking place today. Monks often come from there. Xuanzang (Tripitaka Master) briefly described the great sandalwood statue in the 'Records of the Western Regions', but did not explain the reason for it. As for the ordination platform, the written records are lacking. Is it not because he did not go there himself, but only narrated based on hearsay, so it is not surprising? Now, approximately in Jetavana (Anathapindika's Park), there are a total of -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 六十四院，通衢大巷，南有二十六院。
