Donglin Temple ({{zh|s={{linktext|东|林|寺}}|t={{linktext|東|林|寺}}|p={{linktext|Dōng|lín|sì}}|l=Eastern Forest Temple}}) is a Buddhist monastery approximately {{Convert|20|km|mi}} from Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China. Built in 386 CE at the foot of Lushan by Huiyuan, founder of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, it is well known for how long it has stood without collapsing.{{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012a|p=157}}{{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012b|p=235}}

In the Tang dynasty, Jianzhen made several trips to Japan for the mission of preaching Buddhism. As a result, Huiyuan and the doctrine of Donglin Temple began to spread in Japan. Donglin Temple made contributions to improve cultural exchanges and friendly visits between China and Nepal, India, Japan.{{sfnb|Wang Jia|2012|p=19–20}}

The monastery reached its peak of influence during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), but was severely damaged during the Taiping Rebellion and was almost destroyed during the Republican period (1912–1949) of Chinese history.{{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012b|p=235}}

History

Eastern Jin dynasty

Donglin Temple was originally built as "Longquan Jingshe" ({{zh|s=龙泉精舍|labels=no}}) in 386 by a prominent Buddhist monk named Huiyuan, founder of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, under the Eastern Jin dynasty (265–420). During his time as abbot, he disseminated Pure Land Buddhism for 30 years, and attracted large numbers of practitioners. He organized the White Lotus Society ({{zh|s=白莲社|labels=no}}), a community gathered 123 Chinese and foreign monks and scholars. Indian Buddhist monks Tanmoti ({{zh|s=昙摩提|labels=no}}) and Sengjia Tipo ({{zh|s=僧加提婆|labels=no}}) also delivered Buddhism at that time. {{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012b|p=236}}

Tang dynasty

The temple experienced unprecedented growth during the Tang dynasty (618–907), and it had more than one thousand monks and was {{convert|120000|m2|adj=on}} in size, with 310 halls and rooms.{{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012a|p=157}}{{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012b|p=236}} Jianzhen, an exceptional Buddhist monk, lectured the sutras and precepts in the temple before going to Japan. In 753, in the 12th year of Tianbao period, Zhi'en ({{zh|s=智恩|labels=no}}), a monk in Donglin Temple, arrived in Japan with Jianzhen.{{sfnb|Zhang Yuhuan|2012b|p=236}}
