Comm. KT: “To be authorized having set aside a buffer zone”: In this case, if the territory of a previously built dwelling/monastery hasn’t been determined, the immediate area around the territory should be set aside. If it has been determined, then from the outermost point, a buffer zone of one cubit should be set aside. In the Kurundi it says that a span is allowable, and in the Mahāpaccari, four finger-breadths. But if one tree is a marker for two territories, when it grows it will cause a mixing of territories, so that shouldn’t be done.

Khematto Bhikkhu	I allow, when a territory is being authorized, that it be authorized having set aside a buffer zone.”
