Lingyin si is a Zen
monastery in the hills around the West Lake in Hangzhou. It is
amazing how quickly the monasteries have been restored after the orgy
of destruction during the cultural revolution. In the hills around
Hangzhou there are several monasteries and nunneries. Interestingly
in one of them a nun gave me a book in English by Sheng Yen, a
Taiwanese Zen master whom I met many years earlier in Taipei.
