勅修百丈清規 7.148

7.148

Ninth Month. On the first day: the head seat resumes striking the zazen board. The hall administrator's office oversees the papering of the Sangha hall's windows, lowers the cool blinds, and hangs the warm blinds. On the Double Ninth festival, early in the morning, the administrators burn incense and offer dogwood tea. The abbot ascends the hall, and visitors from afar are permitted to pay formal visits.
