The attendant instructs the postulants in advance to arrange the proclamation and letters on a table to the right side below the Dharma seat and set up positions. The special envoy in advance reports to the karmadāna to invite the person who will read the proclamation and letters. The attendant reports to the abbot, and the drum is struck according to the customary procedure for going up to the hall. The abbot comes out and stands at his position, approaching the incense table. The special envoy burns incense and presents the proclamation and letters; with each presentation of a proclamation, the special envoy burns incense and hands it up. The abbot takes up each one, and each has its Dharma words. When the reading is complete, the special envoy again burns incense, twice unfolds his mat, and makes three prostrations; whether he makes prostrations touching the mat or is excused depends on the abbot's wish, and he withdraws from the table. The abbot ascends the rostrum, raises the main points, expresses his thanks, and concludes the assembly. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.8) - [Next: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.10) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025~en-mt.3.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.9) · Pramāṇa
