8.23

In the main hall in the morning and dusk when the abbot and administrators walk with incense, and when the assembly reads and chants scriptures and dhāraṇīs, the hall custodian strikes it. When robes are auctioned, the karmadāna strikes it. When postulants are tonsured, the chanting ācārya strikes it. A small handheld chiming bowl is kept constantly on the person of the hall postulant; whenever the assembly chants, he strikes it to signal the beginnings and stops.
