Wisdom Temple, also known as "Report of Merit Wisdom Zen Temple," is located east of the Capital and has a history of over two hundred years since its construction.
The temple occupies more than thirty acres, facing south from the north, and includes several buildings and over a hundred rooms, housing numerous monks...
If the Wisdom Temple were to be compared to a "company," it would be considered quite well-managed compared to Hangzhou's Lingyin Temple.
But recently, the temple had been anything but peaceful.
First, a few months ago, several monks mysteriously disappeared...
At first, the other monks didn't pay much attention to it as such occurrences were common in larger temple communities—almost every year some would leave the hardships of monastic life without notice.
But later, it wasn't just the monks who were missing. Some locals also came knocking, claiming that their family members had vanished after coming to the temple to offer incense and hadn't been seen since.
