Zhenru Temple, Buddhist temple on Mount Yunju, Yongxiu County, China

Zhenru Temple occupies the southwestern hillside of Mount Yunju, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements with grey tiles and white walls.

The temple originated between 806 and 810 during the Tang dynasty when monk Daorong established it as a center for Chan Buddhist teachings.

The temple functions as the primary establishment of the Caodong school in Chinese Buddhism, maintaining traditional scripture lectures and meditation practices.

Visitors can explore multiple halls within the temple complex, including the memorial hall dedicated to Master Hsu Yun constructed in 1990.

This temple preserves a bronze statue of Rocana that survived the 1937 invasion, remaining as the only original artifact from that period.
