At dawn, the sky was delicately white.
In a city about five hundred miles distant from the Mountain of Mind and Heart, the sound of chanting had already begun to echo.
Unlike the stone buildings of Great Zhou which rose and fell in clusters, each building here exuded a faint incense smoke, accompanied by soft chanting to praise the compassion of the Bodhisattva Arhats.
This is the everyday life of the Buddha Country's common people, where all believers wake up early, perform their morning rituals, recite scriptures, and offer incense in reverence to the Buddha.
People further away might slack off, but in this place only five hundred miles from the Mountain of Mind and Heart, all are devout believers; slackers find it difficult to reside here for long.
