In the Thirteenth Dalai Lama’s illustrated Vinaya manual (called The Moonlight that Destroys Ignorance of Faults and Offenses: The Traditional Drawings that Illustrate the Shape and Size of the Prohibitions, Prescriptions, Consents, and Boundary Required by the Prātimokṣa Training Precepts, as Given in the Four Vinaya Āgama and Tshonawa’s Ṭīkā, an Annotated Commentary on the Vinayasūtra), these dwellings are drawn rather flat and without perspective but it is clear that they depict rows of dwellings or “monastic cells” in (from left to right) small clusters of 1–3 dwellings, medium clusters of 4–9 dwellings, and large clusters of 10–12 dwellings.
