建立曼荼羅及揀擇地法 1.16

1.16

“The ācārya should recite the Sanskrit text. Kneeling on both knees, he should extend his right hand to press the ground and recite this gāthā repeatedly, making offerings to all Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and the earth deity with ointment perfume, flowers, and the like. Having made such offerings, the practitioner must take refuge in all Tathāgatas and only then prepare the ground, which should successively possess all virtues.”
