In Changan City, Lu Yu once again passed by the Jinshan Temple that he had once personally helped build.
Today, Jinshan Temple was a famous temple within Changan, bustling with monks and incense burners, and the stream of visitors coming to offer incense and tour was endless.
The monks in the temple wore kind smiles on their faces and nodded in greeting to every visitor who entered Jinshan Temple.
Every morning, the monks at Jinshan Temple had specific morning classes, during which time visitors could not enter the main hall and could only tour the outer courtyard.
Led by the abbot, the monks chanted sutras and worshipped Buddha, the incense smoke curling upwards and the long-lasting chants carrying a special flavor that echoed in the ears of the visitors, cleansing their restless spirits.
With an "om," the abbot struck the copper alms bowl beside him, symbolizing the end of the morning class, and the monks exited the main hall in a solemn and dignified procession.
