Yinlin Temple 印林寺 where Master Yinyuan was ordained

During my visit to Fuqing on Nov. 19, 2019, I visited Yinlin Temple 印林寺 located at the edge of Donglin Village 東林村 where Master Yinyuan was first ordained. Yinyuan's master was a devout Buddhist and had visited this temple frequently. It remains active in local communities with local cults such as the worship of earth god 土地公 and nine immortals of the He family 何九仙.
