The Zhenru Chan Temple (simplified Chinese: 真如禅寺; traditional Chinese: 真如禪寺; pinyin: Zhēnrú Chán Sì) is a Chan Buddhist temple located on the southwestern hillside of Mount Yunju in Yongxiu County, Jiangxi, China. Zhenru Chan Temple is the cradle of Caodong school in Chinese Buddhism. The temple has been burned down and rebuilt several times due to wars and fires. The present version was completed in the 1950s.
