"Namo Amitabha,
Tu Tathagata..."
On the square of Jiuhua Temple, there were stone statues in the shape of beasts. A monk, cloaked in a light gold kasaya, sat on one of these stone statues, one leg bent and the other naturally hanging down. His eyes were slightly closed as he chanted the Rebirth Mantra.
His voice transformed into light gold characters, arranging themselves into lines of scripture, floating around him.
Meanwhile, batches of monks reciting the Rebirth Mantra entered the square from one side of Jiuhua Temple's mountain gate, circled around the square, and then exited through the gate.
Thus, in repetition, people came and went, leaving behind Buddha's energy that condensed into Buddhist chanting. The sounds transformed into characters, joining the rows of scriptures floating in the center of the square.
By nightfall, the monks finally stopped entering, leaving only the golden scriptures floating, illuminating the gradually darkening temple.
