The bull cart gradually moved along the necessary route towards its destination. Although there were no roads on the grassland, which was wide enough for free riding, it was filled with crowds dressed in festive attire. As far as the eye could see, it was like a wide river of colored cloth converging towards the distant hill.
Although the crowds along the way would automatically make way, Eric still felt that the cart's progress was quite slow. After an unknown period of time, the bull cart finally arrived at the small hill standing on the grassland.
Around the hill, 200 well-dressed and imposing Dharma protectors stood in a circle. They seemed particularly spirited today.
As people in festive attire approached these Dharma protectors, they all had to show the invitation letter issued by Sakya to be allowed to enter the area closely guarded by them.
