The "Diagram of the Establishment of the Dharma Realm" was compiled by the eminent monk Master Renchao during the Ming Dynasty, completed in the Wanli era. This work systematically elucidates the Buddhist cosmology through illustrated diagrams, covering doctrines such as the Three Realms, Six Paths, the Four Great Continents, and the Three Thousandfold World System. It integrates the teachings of Yogācāra and Huayan thought. As a significant cosmological text in Chinese Buddhism, it vividly presents the Buddhist understanding of the structure of the world, holding considerable religious, philosophical, and historical importance. It serves as a key document for studying traditional Buddhist worldview.

總釋大意數一至七從凡至聖自近而遠通為一觀如入大海轉入轉深方知世界無邊眾生無數而真法界量亦無有盡然則離事無理離理無事性相不二體用同如總為法界一大緣起故經云終無心外境能與心為緣皆是自心生還與心為相以色大故般若大色清淨故般若清淨也。

The overall meaning unfolds from one to seven, moving from the ordinary to the sage, from the near to the far, all integrated into a single contemplation. It is like entering the ocean—the deeper you go, the more you realize the world is boundless, beings are countless, and the true Dharma realm is also without end.

Thus, there is no principle apart from phenomena, and no phenomena apart from principle. Nature and appearance are not two; essence and function are one and the same. All together constitute the great dependent arising of the Dharma realm. As the sutra says: "Ultimately, there is no external object that can serve as a condition for the mind. All are born from the mind and return to manifest as the mind's appearances. Because form is vast, prajna is vast; because form is pure, prajna is pure."
