Ling Yen Mountain Temple, Buddhist monastery in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Lingyen Mountain Temple is a Buddhist monastery on No. 5 Road in Richmond, British Columbia, designed by Pacific Rim Architecture in the Chinese palatial style and completed on September 19, 1999. Its main hall houses a 15-foot (4.6 m) gilded Buddha statue, and the grounds include an orchard of apple, fig and pear trees, berries, and a field of potatoes, corn and squash.

The temple was completed on September 19, 1999, designed by Pacific Rim Architecture in the Chinese palatial style. It follows the Pure Land tradition of Ling Yen Shan near Suzhou, Jiangsu, and is an offshoot of the Ling Yen Mountain Temple near Puli, Nantou, Taiwan, founded by Master Miao Lien in 1984. Expansion proposals were submitted to Richmond in 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2016; the 2016 plan, approved after a June 20 public hearing, cut the Main Buddha Hall to 25.9 metres and the resident nuns to 60.

The temple follows the Pure Land tradition of Ling Yen Shan near Suzhou, brought to Richmond through Master Miao Lien's monastery in Puli, Taiwan, founded in 1984. At Buddha's birthday and Chinese New Year, 1,000 lanterns surround the building, and Paramita Ball prayers are set out on occasion.

The temple stands on No. 5 Road near Williams Road, about a 20-minute drive from Vancouver and a two-minute walk from Richmond Christian School. The site lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve, so part of the land is actively farmed: an orchard of apple, fig and pear trees with berries, plus a field of potatoes, corn and squash.

The temple sits on No. 5 Road, a stretch of Richmond shared with churches, mosques and other temples and nicknamed the "Highway to Heaven". It is one of the few religious sites there that meets the city's rule to actively farm part of its land: an orchard of apple, fig and pear trees, berries, and fields of potatoes, corn and squash.
