建立曼荼羅及揀擇地法 1.4

1.4

Only such a person may construct various maṇḍalas to benefit oneself and others, seeking all siddhis to be decisively accomplished. If one does not possess the conditions mentioned above, has not received the Dharma in person from an enlightened master, and is not well acquainted with the meaning of the teaching, one must not rashly and precipitously construct [a maṇḍala]. Not only would this agitate the spirits and deities and make them uneasy, but it would also bring calamity upon oneself.
