爾時佛告大眾：「當知若我滅後，有依我法中作壇，供養諸天菩薩十方佛者，汝等並同借地。」佛言：「若欲有作此佛頂壇者，擇得地，燒香啟告十方諸菩薩、天龍鬼神了，即燒沈水香，設食供養。先盡地契滿三日，然後穿去惡生，築壇借地，如蓮花十二葉不須出根。以白粉盡了，以香供養，誦大佛頂二十一遍。每日日末時即誦七遍，又禮四拜。」佛言：「三日滿去土，取淨一土呪土百八遍，了即篩土。篩土了和香，借地契食。槃畔用築壇。口常誦呪，手須築土。若土乾，可煎十種香汁和土，方圓依壇。經上築了，即以絹方八尺，以呪二十一遍，畫佛頂敷蓋壇上。佛頂契作兩蓮華無根，作一天如菩薩形，右手執白拂，左手執如意珠，一脚踏一花，上衣並用白衣，瓔珞天冠，花槃香盤。佛頂契三日蓋之了，即作天契，亦於絹上如前法畫作十二蓮華，並白粉花，花上作五色雲。直上雲中作金剛八手，各持刀仗走於雲。金剛火聳上至頭，金環釧花無根無契。金剛先雲起十二葉，花各一葉。天契三日，日即去須衣。前絹上畫名結契，亦名集契，其契契十二葉蓮華無根。花上作一神如佛面頭，有大上聳，八手四足，坐在花中，手各執寶杖，當前二手作召信印，印同如來信印。張在壇上一日一夜，誦呪遶壇。設召天龍鬼神，末須召菩薩佛。」

At that time, the Buddha said to the great assembly: "You should know that after my parinirvāṇa, if there are those who, relying on my Dharma, construct a maṇḍala to make offerings to the devas, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas of the ten directions, you must all together grant the borrowing of the land." The Buddha said: "If someone wishes to construct this Buddhoṣṇīṣa maṇḍala, having selected the land, burn incense and announce to the bodhisattvas of the ten directions, the devas, dragons, ghosts, and spirits; then burn aloeswood incense and arrange food offerings. First completely maintain the land mudrā for full three days; after that, dig away the foul matter and construct the maṇḍala by borrowing the land, shaped like a twelve-petaled lotus flower without needing to show the roots. Having completely drawn it with white powder, make offerings with incense and recite the Mahābuddhoṣṇīṣa [mantra] twenty-one times. Every day at the end of the day, recite it seven times and make four prostrations." The Buddha said: "When three days are completed, remove the soil, take pure soil and empower the soil with the mantra one hundred and eight times, and once done, sift the soil. Having sifted the soil, mix it with incense, perform the land-borrowing mudrā and food offering, and use it around the perimeter to pound and construct the maṇḍala. The mouth must constantly recite the mantra, and the hands must pound the earth. If the soil is dry, decoct the juice of ten kinds of incense to mix with the soil, making it square or circular according to the maṇḍala manual. Having finished pounding, take an eight-foot square piece of silk, empower it with the mantra twenty-one times, paint the Buddhoṣṇīṣa, and spread it to cover over the maṇḍala. For the Buddhoṣṇīṣa mudrā[-painting], make two rootless lotus flowers, and make a deva in the form of a bodhisattva, holding a white chowrie in the right hand and a cintāmaṇi jewel in the left hand, with each foot treading upon one flower. The upper garments should all be white clothing, adorned with necklaces and a heavenly crown, with flower trays and incense dishes. After covering it with this Buddhoṣṇīṣa mudrā[-painting] for three days, then make the deva-mudrā: also on silk, paint twelve lotus flowers following the previous method, all flowers of white powder, and upon the flowers make five-colored clouds. Rising straight into the clouds, make a Vajra with eight hands, each holding a sword or weapon, running upon the clouds. The Vajra's flames soar upward reaching the head, with gold rings and bracelets, and the flowers are rootless and without base. The Vajra's clouds initially rise with twelve petals, one petal for each flower. The deva-mudrā [remains for] three days; on that day, then remove the cloth. The painting upon the previous silk is called the 'concluding mudrā' and also called the 'assembling mudrā'; its mudrā shows a twelve-petaled rootless lotus flower. Upon the flower, make a spirit like the face and head of a Buddha, towering greatly upward, with eight arms and four feet, seated in the flower, each hand holding a precious staff, with the front two hands forming the summoning-trust mudrā, which is identical to the Tathāgata's trust-mudrā. Spread it over the maṇḍala for one day and one night, recite the mantra, and circumambulate the maṇḍala. Although you summon the devas, dragons, ghosts, and spirits, there is no need to summon the bodhisattvas and Buddhas."
