> Thicket and forest (araṇya / congling): The Dazhuangyan lun states: "The assembly of monks is indeed a thicket and forest of superior wisdom; all virtuous practices and deeds gather within it."

Green Forest (qinglin): The place where the Western Heaven patriarch Śāṇavāsa expounded the Dharma. Chan cave (chanku): The disciples of Chan Master Ruhui of the Eastern Monastery in Hunan were so numerous that the beds in the hall broke and collapsed under them; at that time it was honorifically called the Chan cave. Shaolin and Shaoshi: The place where Master Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years. Apple Orchard (naiyuan): The Neidian lu states: "When Faxiu, a Chan master of Jibin, first arrived in Dunhuang, he did not build meditation chambers, but cleared a hundred mu of garden and planted a thousand apple trees. The meditation community was dense and orderly; those who hastened there were like clouds."
