Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureKṣetrārāma (क्षेत्राराम) refers to the “fields and gardens” (suitable for an offering ritual), according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [As the Bhagavān teaches an offering manual]: “The great sealing of the boundary is present until the stake is drawn out. All crops, all flowers and fruits will be well protected. [...] Even if perished they gain vital power again. They reach vigour, growth and power again. The [contents of the] bowl should be sprinkled all around in the four directions in the fields and gardens (kṣetrārāma). [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).
