231 Dharma is Not Readily Instructed

Looking up, the hall had three huge words written across it: "Heavenly Kings Hall!"

Fangzheng felt wistful. He was indeed in a large monastery. It looked much more impressive than his tiny monastery that only had one Ten Thousand Buddha Hall. Past the Heavenly Kings Hall, he turned around and saw a golden-armored general pressing his palms together against a demon-felling pestle. The statue was no stranger to Fangzheng. One Finger Monastery also had one. It was a Skanda. From the stance the Skanda had, Hongyan Monastery was run as a mid-ranged monastery. Traveling monks who came could get a day of free board and lodging.

Past the Heavenly Kings Hall was Hongyan Monastery's main hall, the Mahavira Hall. Right at its entrance was a bronze-cast tripod that had lots of incense burning in it that reached the firmaments. On the tripod were written the words: "The country flourishes and people live in peace."
