作法界 [zuo fa jie]—(zuòfǎjiè) — [Technical Term] This refers to a type of boundary (地界 [de jie] - dìjiè) that encompasses monks (攝僧 [she seng] - shè sēng) and their robes (攝衣 [she yi] - shè yī), etc. There are two kinds of such boundaries: (zuòfǎjiè) and 自然界 [zi ran jie] (zìránjiè). A boundary established according to natural terrain (天然之地形 [tian ran zhi de xing] - tiānrán zhī dìxíng) is called a 自然界 [zi ran jie] (zìránjiè). A boundary (地界 [de jie]) formed by performing a karma (羯磨 [jie mo] - jiémó) ritual (作法 [zuo fa] - zuòfǎ) is called a (zuòfǎjiè), which is also known as 結界 [jie jie] (jiéjiè). See Xing Shi Chao (行事鈔 [xing shi chao] - xíngshì chāo), Vol. 2.
作法界—【術語】攝僧攝衣等之地界有作法界自然界之二。依天然之地形而為界境，謂之自然界，行羯磨之作法而結成地界，謂之作法界，即結界也。見行事鈔上二。
