On the tenth day of the lunar calendar, the first month
Tenth Answer:
"The Inner Secret Altar" has a time limit. Once the great holy monk who established the altar has passed away for three years and three months, the "Inner Secret Altar" will become an ordinary altar and will no longer have the power of inner secret blessings. However, as long as the seed of the "Orthodox Buddhist Temple" established by the temple builder who has received the initiation of the inner secret altar remains, even if the appearance of the Buddha and Bodhisattva is changed, it will still be considered an "Orthodox Buddhist Temple". But if idols of non-Buddhist deities are worshipped, it will be contaminated and become ineffective. Note: Consecrating a dirty Buddhist temple does not belong to the category of "Orthodox Buddhist Temple".
