In the temple where we slept were three inscriptions set up by the Emperor Chien Lung.

And although we're not allowed to put our own stamp on it to record our delight, we can all join the Qianlong Emperor and the other people who through the decades have so enjoyed gazing at the Admonitions Scroll.
