2. Introduction to Lingyin Temple Lingyin Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in China, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, with its back to Beifeng and facing Feilai Peak. Built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326), it covers an area of about 87,000 square meters. The founder of Lingyin Temple is West Indian monk Huili. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Wudi granted land and expanded it. King Qian of the Five Dynasties asked Master Yongming to prolong his life in order to revitalize and develop, and named Lingyin Temple. During the Jiading period in Song Ningzong, Lingyin Temple was known as one of the "Five Mountains" in the south of Zen. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Buddhist monk Lingyin raised funds for reconstruction. It took 18 years to build the temple, and its scale jumped to the top of the southeast. In the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1689), Emperor Kangxi was given the name "Yunlin Temple" when he visited the south.
When Lingyin Temple was founded, Buddhism was not prosperous, and everything was just in its infancy. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Wudi granted land expansion, with a slightly considerable scale. In the sixth year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 77 1 year), it was completely restored and the incense was strong. However, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, "it was difficult to reconcile with the law", Lingyin suffered from the disaster of fish in the pool, the temple was destroyed and the monks were scattered. It was not until Qian _, the king of the Five Dynasties, that Master Yongming was ordered to renew his life and build a stone building, a Buddhist temple, a Buddhist temple and a 100-foot Maitreya Pavilion, and named it Lingyin New Temple. At the peak of Lingyin Temple, there were nine floors, eighteen pavilions, seventy-two halls, 1,300 temples and as many as 3,000 monks. Hangzhou was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Gaozong and Xiaozong were always lucky to drive Lingyin, manage temple affairs and write calligraphy. During the Jiading period in Song Ningzong, Lingyin Temple was known as one of the "Five Mountains" in the south of Zen. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Zen master had an abbot, who was determined to rebuild and raise funds extensively. It took 18 years to build a temple alone. Brahma is solemn, the ancient style is revived, and its scale is grand, making it the "crown of southeast". In the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1689), Emperor Kangxi was given the name "Yunlin Temple" when he visited the south.
