The first day of the New Year, the sky was just faintly bright, and the morning sun rose, purple clouds filled the sky.
"Dong——"
"Dong——"
"Dong——"
The distant and clear bell rang nine times, echoing throughout White Cloud Mountain and Jizhou Prefecture.
The New Year Dharma Assembly officially began!
...
The New Year Dharma Assembly at White Cloud Temple was an annual major event in Jizhou. Many local and even surrounding temples and Daoist temples either moved their Dharma Assembly to the end of the previous year or delayed it to the tenth or fifteenth day of the New Year.
Not only to avoid clashing with White Cloud Temple's assembly, but also because they were invited to attend the ceremony.
The hosts and Temple Masters from various places came to White Cloud Temple to attend the ceremony, so how could they host their own assemblies?
