靈隱寺位於浙江杭州西湖靈隱山。靈隱山與天竺山合稱武林，距城十餘里。其山控湖扼江，有龍盤鳳翥之狀，為仙靈區宅。其呼猿洞與冷泉亭，乃錢塘八景之一。寺始建於東晉咸和三年（三二八），為竺僧慧理所創，葛洪書山門榜曰「絕勝覺場」。此寺於隋前之興廢莫考，至唐代駱賓王避禍隱于此，靈隱之名大著。大曆六年（七七一）重修，會昌（八四一～八四六）廢教，寺毀僧散。後稍興復，規制未宏。至吳越錢忠懿王時，命永明延壽禪師重為開拓，殿宇一新。宋真宗景德四年（一〇〇七）賜稱「景德靈隱禪寺」。宋室南渡後，高宗、孝宗翠華屢幸，當時號稱禪窟，為五名山之第二。元至正十九年（一三五九），寺毀於兵，二十三年（一三六三）重建。明洪武、永樂、宣德數度興建，復還舊觀。隆慶三年（一五六九）燬於雷火，萬曆間重建。其後經戰亂，寺殿多毀。清順治年間宏禮重建，康熙二十八年（一六八九）賜名「雲林寺」，此後均稱雲林寺。寺志舊有明萬曆間白珩所修稿，清康熙二年（一六六三），孫治重修為十二卷；十年（一六七一）徐增就孫志重編為八卷，分為十四門：開山、重興、山水、梵宇、古塔、古蹟、禪祖、法語、檀越、人物、藝文、詩、遺事、雜記，後附「山地蕩總目」。開山、重興、山水三門記建置。梵宇、古塔、古蹟記形勝。禪祖記歷代住持之傳略。法語載高僧上堂語錄。檀越、人物記與本寺有關之人物，藝文、詩、遺事、雜記則錄歷代詩文、碑記與遺聞逸事也。山地蕩總目則載本寺之田產也。康熙以前，靈隱寺文獻略備於此。因志成之時，在康熙賜名之前，故仍以靈隱寺名。此志初刻於康熙十一年（一六七二），茲據光緒十四年（一八八八）錢塘丁氏重刋本景印。

The Gazetteer of Lingyin Temple in Wulin was compiled by the Qing dynasty scholar Sun Zhi and later revised by Xu Zeng. It is a Buddhist temple gazetteer documenting the history and culture of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. Compiled in the early Qing dynasty, the work meticulously records the temple's establishment and historical evolution, the deeds of eminent monks, inscribed poetry and steles, as well as the landscape and scenery, reflecting the flourishing of Jiangnan Buddhism and monastic administration during the Ming and Qing periods. As an important piece of local Buddhist literature, it not only provides valuable historical materials for the study of Lingyin Temple's history but also exemplifies the tradition of Chinese Buddhist temple gazetteer compilation. It holds authoritative reference value for understanding this Chan sacred site and the transmission of Buddhist culture.
