However, many of them were on the edge of irreparability, some pages of ancient sutras will fall apart into piece with a gentle touch. Therefore, Huayan Monastery launched a project of restoration sutras and Chinese calligraphies and paintings from May. On July 30, Huayan Monastery exhibited nine restored works.
