四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.299

1.299

Concerning the upoṣadha recitation: following one's fellow teacher and good friends, one sits together along the pathway, keeping close to one another, and demarcates it according to the Dharma. Concerning pravāraṇā: five or more persons sit in a circle on four sides, with the five virtues in the center, and perform pravāraṇā facing all four sides. The additional practices applied by contemporaries are not necessarily like this, and may also be adapted according to conditions.
