GS 37: Slipped the Net

The layout of Clear Void Monastery was comparable to that of ordinary Daoist temples. The building was symmetrical on its central axis, the main hall serving as the hall for the Three Pure Ones, thus enshrining their statues. Beyond that, there were four more temple halls, the lecture platform, drum towers, and so on. The whole temple’s scale wasn’t very big, but its verdant greenery was superb, its winding pathways leading to secluded places. It installed a section of a peaceful land within the secular world.
