勅修百丈清規 7.124

7.124

On the day following the seasonal node, when congee is finished, the monastery storehouse prepares a tea notice (the same as for the decoction), invites to tea, announces to the assembly, and hangs the board. When the long wooden board is struck, they enter the hall to invite to tea, identical to the attendant. After the noon meal, they arrange the identifying plaques, set up the seats, and beat the drum to gather the assembly. Greeting with folded hands for seating, greeting with folded hands for incense, greeting with folded hands for tea, circumambulating the hall to greet with folded hands, and performing the ceremony and delivering the address before the abbot are all the same as the etiquette for the decoction.
