As follows:
1. Lingyin Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in China, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, facing Feilai Peak. Founded 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. Qian Liu, King of wuyue in the Five Dynasties, asked Master Yongming to give him the name Lingyin New Temple.
2. In Jiading period of Song Ningzong, Lingyin Temple was called 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.
3. Lingyin Temple takes Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Pharmacist Hall, Fatang Hall and Huayan Hall as the central axis, and there are 500 Luohan Hall, Jigong Hall, Huayan Pavilion, Dabei Building and Abbot Building on both sides. The current abbot is Master Guangquan. Lingyin Temple in Zhejiang Province is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
4. In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Ming Taizu recalled the abbot of Lingyin Temple and returned to Beijing, which caused a sensation in the ruling and opposition parties, and the four of them returned to worship. Ming Taizu personally named him one of the "Top Ten Monks", gave him a golden robe, and ordered him to write down four proverbs: "righteousness", "respect for the foundation", "respect for the Tao" and "respect for the saints". When the Ming Dynasty was first established, Buddhism was advocated, and soon in the name of rectification, various restrictions were imposed on temples.
5. The ten-day tragedy of "legal difficulties" of the monks in Lingyin Temple came again. They took the initiative to return the 13000 mu of temple fields in Hangzhou, Xiuzhou (now Jiaxing) and other places donated by the Song Dynasty court to the court, thus avoiding the disaster. Ming Taizu appreciated this practice of the monks in Lingyin Temple, so he returned some fields to Lingyin Temple. In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Lingyin Temple caught fire and suffered heavy losses.
6. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), the abbot Huiming rebuilt Huang Jue Temple and renamed it Lingyin Temple. Due to the temporary shortage of funds, the Buddha statues in Buddhist temples were not plasticized until the first year of Yongle (1403), and monks and good people raised funds to decorate the Buddha days and various offerings. Huang Jue Temple suffered many disasters, and was destroyed by fire again in the fifth year of Xuande (1430).
