為什么說銅鐘在法器中有舉足輕重的地位
鐘是佛教禮儀中的重要法器，鐘聲有召集僧眾、報時等形式的作用，不僅增添了佛寺的威嚴，也被注入了“驚醒世間名利客，喚回苦海夢迷人”的佛教含義。因此有了“有寺必有鐘，無鐘即無寺”的說法。
The bell is an important instrument in Buddhist rituals. The bell has the function of calling monks together and telling the time. It not only adds the dignity of the Buddhist temple, but also has the Buddhist meaning of "awaken the worldly celebrities and bring back the enchanting dream of the bitter sea".
