Desks were placed around the courtyard of the Hsing Tian Kong. On top of the desks were bookholders. This seemed to be a place for sutra reading, and the congregation, dressed in matching uniforms, was reading scriptures. Although the room had the atmosphere of a study room, there was no teacher or master in sight. Everyone seemed to be reading alone. I wondered who I should ask if I came across a passage I didn't understand.
When I looked at the pillars, I saw that they had written texts that appeared to have been taken from the sutras. Of course, it was written in Chinese, so I had no idea what it said. Perhaps they were words of gratitude.
