The Water Grove Dharma Assembly was set to begin in two days.

Preparations had already begun early at the Chanlin Temple. Since the assembly was to be held at night and attended mostly by ordinary people, the temple needed to be adorned with lanterns all around.

The Guanyin Statue in the center of the temple also needed to be moved temporarily near the Buddha, so they could have a good discussion on the Buddhist scriptures together.

This space was temporarily given to the monks to earn their keep.
