'''Yíngjiāng Temple 迎江寺''' was the site of an early Buddhist Seminary, and is an important temple in Ānhuī [[安徽]].

==History==
Originally built in 974 (Kāibǎo 開寶 7), this temple was rebuilt in 1619 (Wànlì 萬曆 47). It reached its present proportions after renovations in 1663 (Kāngxī 康熙 2). It was destroyed in 1861 (Xiánfēng 咸豐 11) but was rebuilt the following year (Tóngzhì 同治 1).

The noted monk Yuèxiá [[月霞]] became abbot in [[1898]]/[[1899]], but had to pass the abbacy to his disciple Xīnjiān [[心堅]] after only a few years when the former got into a conflict with Yuán Shìkǎi 袁世凱.

In [[1922]] an early Buddhist Seminary [[佛學院]], the Ānhuī Monastic School [[安徽僧學校]] was founded here. Its principal was Chángxǐng [[常惺]] and it ran until [[1924]], at which point most of the teachers and students traveled to Xiàmén [[廈門]], where they formed the core of what would become the Mínnán Buddhist Seminary [[閩南佛學院]]. Teachers at the Monastic School included Dùè [[度厄]], Huìtíng [[蕙庭]], Juésān [[覺三]], and Chísōng [[持松]].

After [[1949]], this was one of the few temples that the PRC focused on maintaining. In 1983, it was designated an important site for Hán 漢 Buddhism. The following year it began operating as a monastery. The current abbot is Wǎnfēng [[皖峰]].
