The monks' study hall (or,5 literally, "assembly hall") behind the sōdō, where monks study, rest, or drink tea at assigned places during breaks. It is structured like the sōdō in terms of seating assignments and configuration. The seats are on narrower platforms than in the sōdō, since they are not for sleeping, and instead of cabinets for bedding, at the end of each monk's platform is a small desk for study materials. Instead of Manjushri, the shurya has Avalokiteshvara enshrined on the central altar. 70,80n. 30, 109-15, 116n. 1 +
