这件置于光明山普觉禅寺内的开山大磬，渊源始于1922 年。
当时的善翁郑雨生居士捐献了土地与精舍给转道老和尚来创建光明山普觉禅寺。为了纪念这个事迹，郑居士与中国杭州定做此大磬，一起捐给普觉禅寺。至今在近百年后，大磬上刻的“中国杭州吴大房工匠在1922年农历五月制造。”仍然清晰可见。
随着岁月的流逝，这个大磬已不使用了但它的保存提醒着后辈们它所象征的无私与奉献精神。
This large chime found in Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, dating back to 1922, commemorates the building of the physical premise of the monastery.
In 1922, local layman devotee, Mr Zheng Yu Sheng (hanyu pinyin translated), donated the parcel of land on Bright Hill Road to the founding Abbot, Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao, to build the physical premise of the monastery. To commemorate this joyous occasion, Mr Zheng custom-made this large chime from a ‘Wu Da Fang artisan workshop’ located in Hangzhou, China. The exact characters of the name of the workshop, and date and year of the manufacture can be found legibly engraved on the underside of the chime.
With the passage of time, the large chime is no longer in use however its existence today reminds all the spirit of ‘dāna’ (Sanskrit: generosity) and ‘maitrī’ (Sanskrit: compassion).
