The Meet that Changed Qualitatively

The young monk was slightly taken aback as he watched Fangzheng's departing figure. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

Fangzheng took his seat and whatever happened next had nothing to do with him. Baiyun Monastery's Zen Master Baiyun went up to the platform and gave his opening speech. The grand Spring Welcoming Blessing Dharma Assembly officially began!

Flower petals were thrown, holy water was sprinkled, and there were scripture recitals…

By the time all was said and done, it was already noon. Afterwards the monastery held a vegetarian banquet.
