Ordination Platform, Longchang Temple, Jurong, Jiangsu, China


An ordination platform at Longchang Temple in Jurong, Jiangsu. Monks have "shaved" here since the ornate stone dais was designed by Master Yuejian in 1705. It stands in a hall of its own, with a courtyard to accommodate crowds. One source says that in a single ceremony in 1900, over 1,200 monks were ordained!
