四分律行事鈔資持記 3.686

3.686

四中，初明擇地。規，謂看視。其下，指方所。須東北者，以寺門向東，即在前面左邊二方為之。注中，前示西土，亦合作並；東北風多，則穢氣不至殿塔，此示寺門向東所以。下明此方應在南西；今此厨廁多在東北，亦以南西風多故也。不得下，制侵犯。西土佛法僧地，各有分齊，不相混濫。下指盜戒，彼明欲於僧地起塔，即須作法和僧等。

In the fourth, it first explains selecting the ground. 'To survey' means to inspect. Below, 'its' indicates the direction and place. 'Must be northeast' is because the temple gate faces east, so it is made in the two directions in front and to the left. In the note: the preceding part indicates the Western lands; 'yì' (also) should also be written as 'bìng' (together); if there is much northeast wind, foul air will not reach the halls and stūpas, which explains the reason why temple gates face east. Below, it explains that in this land it should be in the south and west; nowadays our kitchens and latrines are mostly in the northeast, also because south and west winds are frequent. Below, 'one must not' prohibits encroachment. In the Western lands, the grounds of the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha each have their boundaries and are not confused or intermingled. Below, it points to the precept against stealing, which clarifies that if one wishes to raise a stūpa on Saṅgha land, one must perform the karmavācanā to harmonize the Saṅgha, and so forth.
