Is Fangshan Ding Lin Temple Pure Land or Zen?

Ding Lin Temple in Fangshan, Nanjing has a history of more than 65,438+0,500 years. It is a famous temple in Jinling and one of the "Forty-eight Scenes". Historically, Ding Lin temples were divided into "Upper Ding Lin Temple" and "Lower Ding Lin Temple". In the second year of Song Jingping (423), Huijue founded the Lower Ding Lin Temple in Nanjing Zhongshan Temple. In the 16th year of Yuanjia in Liu Song (439), the foreign monk Zhu Faxiu (Dharma-Mitra) built the Upper Ding Lin Temple in Xiazi Lake, Zhongshan. After Liu Xie, a literary critic, converted to Buddhism, he completed his immortal masterpiece Wen Xin Diao Long in Shangdinglin Temple for more than ten years.

The leaning tower of Fangshan is built on quicksand and rocks, which is a miracle in the past thousand years. During the Liang period, Dharma, the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, came to China to meditate, and the first act was set in Xiadinglin Temple. Buddhism has the reputation of "Nanding Forest, north shaolin". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the incense of Xiadinglin Temple was very prosperous, and with the continuous construction of the temple, its scale became more and more grand.

It turned out to be a Zen Dojo. But now there are almost no pure Zen temples. Although some people say that Zen is a pure land cultivation, it is estimated that there are many pure lands.
