The structure was massive, maybe larger than ten villas combined. Yet it was silent, quieter than a graveyard. Not a whisper of wind could be heard from inside.
In Buddhist culture, the gates held an equal significance to the temples themselves. The gates are the symbol of boundary; they separate the sacred from the secular.
Once you enter the temple, you enter the sacred lands, leaving the secular beyond the gates.
"There are three gates; which one should we take?" Lei Yiran frowned as he sensed the others approaching from behind. He even acted like Xian Mei was never there and she never even half crushed the bones in his foot.
"It's the Sanmon Gate." Xu Tianhua, the merciless monk, instantly recognized the three-story gate.
Sanmon Gates, a gate with three entrances. It's a passage into enlightenment and a journey towards the Buddha's teachings. It is said that crossing the gate can purify your soul before you enter the temple grounds.
