法華三昧懺儀 1.16

1.16

當於閑靜之處，嚴治一室以為道場，別安自坐之處，令與道場有隔。於道場中敷好高座，安置《法華經》一部，亦未必須安形像舍利并餘經典，唯置《法華經》，安施旛蓋種種供養具。於入道場日清旦之時，當淨掃地，香湯灌灑香泥塗地，然種種諸香油燈，散種種華及諸末香，燒眾名香，供養三寶，備於己力所辦，傾心盡意極令嚴淨。所以者何？行者內心敬重三寶超過三界，今欲奉請供養，豈可輕心？若不能拔己資財供養大乘，則終不能招賢感聖、重罪不滅，三昧何由可發。

In a quiet and secluded place, one should adorn and prepare a room to serve as the bodhimaṇḍa, setting up a separate seating place for oneself so that there is a partition between it and the bodhimaṇḍa. In the bodhimaṇḍa, arrange a fine high seat and place one copy of the *Lotus Sūtra* upon it; it is not strictly necessary to set up statues, śarīra, or other scriptures—place only the *Lotus Sūtra*, and set out banners, canopies, and various offering utensils. At dawn on the day of entering the bodhimaṇḍa, one should cleanly sweep the floor, sprinkle and wash it with fragrant water, plaster the floor with fragrant mud, light various fragrant oil lamps, scatter various flowers and powdered incense, and burn various renowned incenses to make offerings to the Three Jewels, preparing to the utmost of one's ability, devoting heart and mind to make it extremely adorned and pure. Why is this? The practitioner's inner mind reveres the Three Jewels more than the three realms; now, wishing to reverently invite them and make offerings, how could one do so with a frivolous mind? If one cannot part with one's own wealth to make offerings to the Mahāyāna, one will ultimately be unable to summon the worthy and move the sages, heavy sins will not be extinguished, and how could the samādhi be aroused?
