Therefore, the sun, moon, and stars all move to the left; the heavenly pneumatic energy rotates with the wind, and they consequently set in the west. Do you not see the initial waxing of the moon? It begins in the west, gradually moves eastward, and also sets in the west. Gradually ascending, it turns east; setting in the west, it rotates with the wind. Creeping plants on the earth always spiral to the left as they grow; this is the constant of Heaven. Nowadays, people follow the turning of the sun and moon toward the west; this is human calculation. As for the Buddha also following it by turning left, this realm is not considered pure. Therefore, the Tathāgata lay on his right side, with his head to the north and facing west, looking toward his native land where the Buddha-Dharma would long flow; instituting it in this realm, all monks lie on their right sides."
