Mountain Gate

After some time had passed, a young novice came to say that the Chen family had arrived at the temple to burn incense. Only then did Abbot Yuanjue remember that today was once again the day the Chen family came to fulfill their vows, as they did every year.

Yuanjue remembered that many years ago, Madam Chen had gone a long time without conceiving and had come to the temple to pray for a child. Afterward, she had indeed given birth to a boy. Ever since, the fifteenth of every month had been the day Madam Chen came to Shifo Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vow. Before they knew it, seventeen years had passed.
