See Jukai Shrine.
Note: The passive voice for "the gate is closed" sounds, in the English language, ambiguous; it is easy to tell the difference between a trigger on action and state for "the gate is opened" vs. "the gate is open", but the two phrases become indistinguishable for "closed".
It hence would be better to use active voice i. e. "a player closes the gate" over "the gate is closed".
I noticed that ambiguity when working on these cards, but didn't think anything of it. A few cards already use active tense, so I'll switch the rest
