廬山西林寺 晉釋慧永。初與遠公法師同依道安法師。至是永公先至潯陽。刺史陶範留之憩廬山。捨宅棲止之。乃創寺曰西林。嶺上一室曰香谷(本傳)。

Xilin Monastery on Mount Lu: The Jin dynasty śramaṇa Huiyong initially relied upon Dharma Master Dao'an together with Dharma Master Venerable Yuan. At this time, Venerable Yong arrived first in Xunyang. The inspector Tao Fan detained him to rest at Mount Lu, relinquishing his residence for him to dwell in. He then founded a monastery called Xilin. A chamber atop the ridge was called the Fragrant Valley (from his biography).
