这个铃钟是于1949年一名信众将它捐给光明山普觉禅寺，从那时开始一直沿用多年。
铃钟用于共修法会和集体活动的时候集结与会者，例如八关斋戒、佛学班，等大规模活动。它的使用是为了传递活动时候的关键时间点，比如说敲第一次钟就是代表开始上课，敲第二次钟就代表开始过堂用斋，再敲一次钟就是说明一堂课结束等等。
这个铃钟已经保存在禅寺内超过70年。虽然它已经不再被使用，但它见证了禅寺内这么多年走过来所举办过的各式各样的法会。
In 1949, a lay devotee donated this large bell to Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery and it was in use for many decades.
This large bell is used for puja ceremonies and group activities, like the ‘Eight Precepts Observation’, Dharma classes, and other large scale events. Its purpose is to convey the important timings of each event. For example, the first chime is for the commencement, the second chime indicates a meal break, and the next chime signalling end of the event, and so forth.
This large bell has been well-kept in the monastery for over 70 years now. Although it is no longer in use today, it has witnessed many Dharma activities throughout the years, and its presence serves as a great reminder of the past.
